Considered a populist she's being accused of being a fascist but says she's not she's a conservative
Time will tell. To me the mark of a fascist is to shut down opposition parties and voting. I don't see that happening soon but if she is going that direction it could take a while
They say she won largely on a stricter immigration policy (mainly African) somewhat similar to the Republicans view on Mexican migrants
In the past, not too long ago there had been another populist regime in Italy and what happened then might be likely to happen again, more immigrants coming into Spain
"Giorgia Meloni's remarks at God, Honor, Country: on President Ronald Reagan, Pope John Paul II, and the Freedom of Nations - A National Conservatism Conference in Rome, Italy - February 3, 2020." .
quote:It does not help Meloni that she has an untested team mostly constituting family and friends, including her brother-in-law. Her win has also come on the lowest voter turnout for an Italian election since World War II.
While Meloni has promised tax cuts — which could be a hard sell in Brussels considering the nation’s 150 percent debt ratio — she has made clear she wants to focus on cultural issues. Her campaign has focused on slamming migration, what she calls the LGBTQ+ lobby and defense of what she calls the “natural family.”
Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi on Wednesday (September 28, 2022) congratulated far-right leader Giorgia Meloni for victory in the recently-concluded Italian polls. Taking to his official Twitter account, Modi said that he looks forward to working together with Meloni, who is set to be the country's first woman prime minister.
"Congratulations Giorgia Meloni for leading your party to victory in the Italian general elections. We look forward to working together to strengthen our ties," PM Modi said.
