The clip comes from Giorgia Meloni, Italy's prime minister, speaking about the Italian-run migrant centres in Albania, a much-debated policy intended to process asylum seekers outside Italy. In the moment captured here, she insists the centres will work, stretching funzioneranno into separate syllables for emphasis. Italian social media users clipped that delivery and reused it as a sarcastic stamp of approval, applying it to plans, promises and predictions far removed from migration policy. Its staying power comes from that contrast: a serious political assurance delivered with such theatrical certainty that it works perfectly as irony.
