Giorgia Meloni will take charge of Italy. She wants a Europe of nations.
With the victory of the extreme right in the Italian legislative elections, Sunday September 26, it is an earthquake in Europe and a slap in the face that is given to Brussels. It is the first time since 1957 and the Treaty of Rome that a great founding country of the European Union has given itself a far-right prime minister. What is more of a post-fascist party. It’s a slap in the face for Brussels because Giorgia Meloni is a nationalist: she doesn’t want a community Europe, she wants a Europe of nations. Something to rebalance European geopolitics, even if the politician also assumes her Atlanticist position.
Giorgia Meloni said she did not want to leave the European Union. The new government is also seeking to guarantee access to European funds. For France, it will be much more complicated. Paris will have to choose other partners in Europe, explains the journalist from France Télévisions, François Beaudonnet.
