The victory of the far-right and Euro skeptic leader, Giorgia Meloni, the leader of the Brothers of Italy has sent shockwaves through Europe and beyond. Meloni’s election marks a decisive rightward shift post what we have recently seen both in France as well as in Sweden. European leaders are watching Meloni’s coalition and its comfortable victory in the Italian elections in shock and in horror. Italy is one of the founding members of the European Union and is also its third largest economy. Meloni will lead the first ever far-right nationalist government in Italy since Mussolini. She also becomes the first-ever woman prime minister of Italy.
