Slandered as a fascist, a danger to democracy, Italy’s new Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, has now become the most popular leader in the EU

This is what the UK newspaper The Times wrote when examining the first hundred days of Meloni’s anti-woke, anti-mass Muslim immigration, pro-family, pro-God, and pro-country government.

Italy24 The British newspaper recalled that Meloni’s major detractors depicted her as a danger both for Italy and for the European continent, placing particular emphasis on the references to the fascist period by members of the Brothers of Italy.

Critics “speculated how long a leader with little government experience could hold together a tripartite coalition that includes two of her biggest rivals on the right”, but Meloni is emerging as the “most popular” leader in the country after 100 days in government. ‘European Union. A success, underlines the British newspaper, also due to the skill with which Meloni was able to manage relations with the partners of the majority, Matteo Salvini and Silvio Berlusconi, who had to accept a role of “minority partners within his government.

Politico EU While the 46-year-old has freaked out mainstream politicians due to her hard-line stance on illegal Muslim migration and links to hardcore right-wing figures, the EU’s top conservative politicians are quickly getting over their qualms as they look ahead to 2024, when the bloc elects a new European Parliament and reshuffles its upper ranks.

The idea, according to European conservatives and people in Meloni’s entourage, is to bring her into a right-wing alliance that would have enough clout in the Parliament and European Council to weigh on the nomination of top EU jobs.

There’s a big prize in store if they succeed: Most of the top jobs at the EU’s key institutions will be up for grabs after the election — from Commission president to head of European Council, from leadership of the European Parliament to head of the EU’s diplomatic arm.

Meloni, on the other hand, is president of the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR), a fiery upstart. Founded in 2009, it’s more right-wing than the bigger EPP group and includes parties like the anti-Muslim immigration right wingt Sweden Democrats, Spain’s Vox and Meloni’s Brothers of Italy, all of them anti-immigration hard-liners.

Meloni shares her government with Forza Italia, as well as the League, Matteo Salvini’s far-right party, while conservative Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson rules with the backing of the Sweden Democrats. In the Czech Republic too, ECR-affiliated Prime Minister Petr Fiala governs with the support of two EPP parties.

“Italy has become the laboratory of the right-center, where the right is leading and the moderates of the EPP are pulled along,” said Marco Damilano, a political analyst who has a show on Rai, Italy’s state-owned TV.

“Nationalists like Meloni move toward the EU — but toward the EU they have in mind,” he added. In other words: more limited powers for Brussels and less federalism.
