Italy
IT’S a long political journey from being a teenage activist in 1992 to being sworn in as Italy’s first female prime minister yesterday. But after winning the largest share of the vote in elections last month, Giorgia Meloni now finds herself the country’s leader and head of the first far-right-led government in the country since the Second World War.
It will of course be a coalition government. One that will include Matteo Salvini’s far-right League and the right-of-centre Forza Italia of Silvio Berlusconi.
