Far-right leader Giorgia Meloni installed as Italy’s premier
Associated PressROME — Giorgia Meloni, whose party with neo-fascist roots finished first in recent elections, was sworn in Saturday as Italy’s first far-right premier since the end of World War II, pledging to work to help Europe and the United States with common challenges. After making clear she demands unwavering support for Ukraine, as well as NATO and EU positions on Russia’s war - “Italy with us in government will never be the weak link of the West,” she said - Meloni tapped as foreign minister a longtime Berlusconi stalwart with solid pro-EU credentials. Meloni replied that Italy would “always be on the side of the brave people of Ukraine that is fighting for its freedom and for a rightful peace.” U.S. President Joe Biden, in congratulating Meloni, praised Italy as a “vital NATO ally and close partner as our nations together address shared global challenges.” “As leaders in the G-7, I look forward to continuing to advance our support for Ukraine, hold Russia accountable for its aggression, ensure respect for human rights and democratic values, and build sustainable economic growth,” Biden said. French far-right leader Marine Le Pen, referring to Meloni and Salvini, wrote on Twitter: “Throughout Europe, patriots are coming to power and with them, this Europe of nations.” Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban also hailed the birth of the new Italian government as a “big day for the European Right.” In any unusual touch for a country used to male-dominated politics and power, Meloni’s companion, a journalist in Berlusconi’s media empire, attended Saturday’s swearing-in ceremony along with the couple’s 6-year-old daughter, Ginevra.
