New Delhi: According to the big news coming from Italy, the ‘Brothers of Italy’ party has formed a new government here. At the same time, this party has named Georgia Meloni as the new Prime Minister of the country. With this, now Georgia is going to create history by becoming the first female prime minister of the country. At the same time, Meloni’s party has become the largest political party in the country by getting 26% of the vote.
According to reports, Giorgia Meloni formed a new coalition government in Italy on Friday. Notably, since the end of World War II, a right-wing coalition government has been formed in the country for the first time. Meloni has also become the first female Prime Minister of Italy.
Giving information, an official of the presidential house said that Meloni and his cabinet were sworn in today i.e. on Saturday. Let us tell you that the Brothers of Italy, with Meloni’s neo-fascist roots, also emerged as the party with the most votes in Italy’s general election last month.
Meloni, who will be officially sworn in at 10 am on Saturday, has expressed her steadfast commitment to leading a unified new government.
“We are ready to provide Italy with a government that can competently and consciously tackle our present-day challenges and emergencies,” she tweeted on Thursday.
But despite having secured a landslide, the right-wing bloc has already been afflicted by significant challenges.
Tensions between the leaders, notably Meloni and Berlusconi, have come to the forefront, especially after the latter was seen describing the soon-to-be PM as “patronizing, overbearing, arrogant [and] offensive” in his notes. Meloni’s response was no less pithy: “I won’t be blackmailed”.
The situation got worse after Berlusconi, a long-time friend of Russian President Vladimir Putin, was recorded as saying he had “rekindled” his relationship with the maligned leader, with whom he admitted to exchanging gifts and “very sweet letters”.
While Berlusconi has denied such allegations, the furor that erupted following the leaked audio has significantly upset the coalition’s government plans. Meloni herself has maintained a firmly pro-NATO stance and has sharply condemned Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.
In response to the budding scandal, center-left leader Enrico Letta stated that he would not “tolerate ambiguity on Russia”.
