Rome: Based on preliminary results of the Italian parliament's election on Monday, voters rewarded Giorgia Meloni's Eurosceptic party with neo-fascist roots, leading the nation to its first far-right government since World War II. was leading.

Giorgia Meloni, leader of Italy's far-right Brothers of Italy party, used a liberal tone in her acceptance speech when her party was projected to win Sunday's election based on the results of nearly two-thirds of the polling places. .

Meloni declared at his party's headquarters in Rome, "If we are given the opportunity to lead this country, we will do it for all, for all Italians and with the intention of bringing the people (of this country) together." Will do it."

It's possible that the right wing will turn against Ukraine soon

Italy chose us, he claimed. "We will not betray (the nation) like we have never done," he said.
Forming a ruling coalition, with the help of Meloni's right-wing and centre-right allies, could take weeks. If 45-year-old Meloni succeeds, she will be the first woman to serve as the country's prime minister. After talking to party leaders, the President of Italy ordered an attempt to form a government.

Mario Draghi, whose administration broke up two months ago, continues in a caretaker capacity in the meantime.
There could be a conflict between Meloni's potential coalition partners.

It has strongly supported the arming of Ukraine so that it can thwart Russian aggression. Matteo Salvini, the leader of the right-wing league and a strong supporter of Russian President Vladimir Putin before the conflict, has expressed concern that Italian economic interests may suffer more as a result of Western sanctions than the Russian ones.

Another ardent Putin supporter and former prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi, has claimed that his participation in the centre-right bloc coalition will ensure that Italy remains firmly in the EU and one of its most trusted members.
Meloni has avoided calls for Salvini to add tens of billions of euros to Italy's already heavy debt burden to provide energy relief, as homes and businesses there struggle with higher energy bills as winter approaches. Huh.

Europe was watching closely to see what kind of government the eurozone's third-largest economy might get, in light of Meloni's criticism of "Brussel bureaucrats" and his links with other right-wing figures. Most recently, she stood in for Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, after the European Commission suggested that Hungary suspend billions of euros in funding due to concerns about democratic collapse and potential financial mismanagement on the part of the European Union. Hui.
Meloni began to revise her message of "God, Motherland and Family" when, ahead of the election, she suggested she would win, apparently in an effort to reassure the European Union and other international partners who are prone to Euro-skepticism. were worried about.

Right-wingers in Italy anticipate a historic victory

Meloni announced live on television that the situation in Italy and the European Union is "particularly complex" and "it is time to be responsible."

Later on Monday, he promised to make more specific comments. In his campaign, he condemned the excessive bureaucracy of EU officials, while pledging to protect Italy's national interests if they conflict with EU directives.
Meloni's Brothers of Italy party would receive about 25.7 percent of the vote, according to estimates based on results from nearly two-thirds of the polling places on Sunday.

By comparison, the nearest rival, former Premier Enrico Letta's centre-left Democratic Party, received about 19.3 percent of the vote. It was predicted that Salvini's league would receive 8.6 percent of the vote, or nearly half of the vote it got in the last election in 2018. The Berlusconi party, Forza Italia, was destined to win 8% of the vote.
At a time when much of the continent is suffering from skyrocketing energy costs as a result of the conflict in Ukraine and the West's resolve to stand together against Russian aggression is being put to the test, Meloni's meteoric rise to the third-largest economy in Europe The union comes at a critical time. The 2018 election saw 4.4 percent for Meloni's party.

Politicians who share their Euroscepticism were the first to rejoice. French politician Marine Le Pen's party praised the result and called it "a lesson in humility" for the European Union.
"Millions of Europeans are pinning their hopes on Italy," Santiago Abascal, the head of Spain's far-right Vox opposition party, said in a tweet. Meloni has shown the way for a proud and free Europe of sovereign nations that can cooperate on behalf of the security and prosperity of all.
According to the Ministry of Home Affairs, around 64% of the eligible voters left the voting process. This is a significant drop from the previous low turnout record of 73 per cent set in 2018.

Italy Defeat sees England suffer Nations League relegation

Since the last election, Italy has had three coalition governments, each of which was led by a person who had not run for office. According to pollsters, this appeared to have alienated many voters.

Meloni's party was developed from the remnants of a neo-fascist group started by admirers of Benito Mussolini's fascist regime soon after the war.

The convoluted electoral code of Italy rewards political cooperation. Joining forces with Salvini and Berlusconi in the campaign gave Meloni encouragement.

The Democrats entered the vote at a significant disadvantage because they were unable to form a similar broad coalition with the 5-Star Movement, the largest party in the recently concluded legislature.

With roughly 16 percent of the vote, the 5-Stars, led by former Premier Giuseppe Conte, seemed destined for third place. They would have roughly taken the same percentage of Meloni's coalition if they had entered into a campaign alliance with the Democrats.

Following the collapse of Draghi's pandemic unity government in late July as a result of the parties of Salvini, Berlusconi, and Conte withholding support in a vote of confidence, the election on Sunday was called six months ahead of schedule.

Meloni refused to join Draghi's unity government or the two prior coalitions led by Conte, keeping her Brothers of Italy party in opposition.
