Far-right leader Giorgia Meloni has been elected as Italy’s next Prime Minister, making her the nation’s first female prime minister. The head of the nationalist Brothers of Italy party will take over from Prime Minister Mario Draghi.
The 45-year-old Giorgia Meloni is expected to form Italy’s most right-wing government since Benito Mussolini was prime minister during World War II. Meloni’s victory comes after she ran on anti-immigration policies, plans to limit LGBTQ+ rights, and restricted access on abortions. She has also voiced her support for Ukraine amid the ongoing conflict with Russia. Following the vote, Meloni said that the Brothers of Italy party would “govern for everyone”. She said during her victory speech, “If we are called on to govern this nation we will do it for all the Italians, with the aim of uniting the people and focusing on what unites us rather than what divides us.” Who Is Giorgia Meloni?
