Italy has just elected Giorgia Meloni, its most far right prime minister since Mussolini. How will this affect the country’s relationship with the rest of the EU? And how will it change the country’s attitude toward Russia’s aggression?

I don't care much about Italy anymore. For me, they have sold their soul to the devil long ago!

She's an interesting character. I have heard some speeches which make me want to vomit and then she will come up with something that sounds very sensible.

Meloni is a fervent supporter of Ukraine from what I've read and throwing Mussolini's name in is a bit of a cheap trick on the part of the media. But they would do that wouldn't they?
I wonder what serafina 's view is.
Splinter, has there been another prime minister this far right between 1945 and 2022? I’m trying to understand how that reference isn’t fair?

I know sod all about it to be honest. Although I'm not really sure it matters who's in charge of Italy. I suspect life there will carry on as normal.
