Italy’s new Premier Giorgia Meloni defended her policy aims Wednesday ahead of a second and final confidence vote in Parliament before the new government led by her far-right party can get down to business.
During a wide-ranging reply to parliamentary questions that lasted about an hour, Meloni rejected criticism by the opposition that her support for Ukraine failed to make any reference to peace, and that her economic policies would encourage tax evasion and endanger substantial EU pandemic recovery funds.
