A government led by right and center-right parties would not pose a threat to Italy and its allies, Giorgia Meloni, leader of the Brothers of Italy, said in an interview with La Stampa on Saturday.
Meloni, whose right-wing party is leading in opinion polls for Italy’s election on Sept. 25, said comments in the international media about the dangers of the right taking over “don’t make sense.” Warnings about the threat from the right and center-right coalition are a result of scare-mongering by “leftist think tanks” intent on “terrorizing the markets,” she said.
Italy is heading to a new election after the resignation of Prime Minister Mario Draghi last week. The vote will be the first held in the fall in the country’s history, and Draghi will stay on as caretaker premier until a new government takes over.
