Popular leader

Giorgia Meloni is the first Italian woman who became the prime minister of the country. Italian people trusted her and gave her a mandate to make their lives better and make the country proud in the world (“Italy’s far-right PM Meloni meets EU chiefs,” Nov. 4, Gulf Today website).

According to the report, Nationalist Meloni has vowed to put Italy’s interests first, and the trip will be closely watched amid fears of turbulent relations ahead between the populist government in Rome and the bloc’s powerhouses.

“Brussels should not do what Rome can do best,” Meloni was quoted as saying in a book to be published on Friday, slamming “a Europe that is invasive in small things and absent in big matters”.

Giorgia Meloni has a huge responsibility as the new Italian prime minister. She has to fulfil her promises she made during her election campaign with her supporters.
