Georgia Meloni is an advocate of the racist "great replacement" theory that suggests shadowy forces are conspiring to "ethnically replace" white Europeans with ethic minorities.

Because the law is an expensive tool to use; because this means it is mostly rich people who get to use it; because rich people are usually men; the law has become a tool of the patriarchy, one which men use to impose their will on women.
In situations where the law tries to decide this for you, I hope there are people like @goodlawproject.bsky.social willing to stand up for your rights to not be property.
