According to foreign media reports, on September 25 local time, the voting session of the Italian parliament Italian parliament election officially ended. The center-right alliance composed of the Italian brothers, the coalition party and the Italian power party achieved a huge victory with about 45%, marking that former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi returned to parliament nine years after leaving for tax fraud, while Georgia Meloni of the Italian brothers will become the first female prime minister in Italian history.
BBC expects that Meloni may form Italy's "most right-wing" government since World War II. "New York Times " commented, "Italia seems to have opened a page of European history."
45 years old this year and has a charming smile. Meloni, who was born in 1977, was a reporter. In 1998, she won the local election for the first time. In 2006, Meloni, who was only 29 years old, was elected as a member of the House of Representatives. In 2008, she was appointed as the "Youth Minister" by then Prime Minister Berlusconi, becoming the youngest minister in Italy after the war. In 2012, Meloni and his partners co-founded the far-right Italian Brothers Party and became the leader in 2014, but the Brothers suffered a major setback in the 2018 general election and received only about 4% of the vote.
Meloni said on September 26: "If we are asked to govern this country, we will do this for all Italians, with the goal of uniting the people, and now it is time to be responsible. The Italians have given us an important responsibility, and now our task is not to let them down and do our best to restore the dignity and pride of the country."
Since 2000, the growth of per capita GDP in Italy has been stagnant, and nearly one-quarter of young people are unemployed, almost at the bottom of the EU . Over the past 30 years, Italian politicians have replaced very quickly, but the problem has never been solved.
Senior Italian political commentator Marcello Sorgi said, "I think the most important question of this election is not whether Meloni is a fascist, and Italians are not interested in whether she is a fascist. Voters have tried everything else, and Meloni is at least faithful to her principles." said Osina, professor of political science at the University of Louis, Rome, said: "Meloni is a convictional politician. She is of course the right wing, but part of it is a belief in national interests, which makes her a realist."
It is worth mentioning that analysts say that Meloni may downplay support for sanctions against Russia after taking office, because this policy is not very popular in Italy, and once she does, Italy may become a weak link in the EU's unanimous position on sanctions against Russia.
