Since the anti-system movement of the “5 stars”, although a member of the government coalition, refused him its confidence, Mario Draghi, the resigning Prime Minister, is no longer just looking for an alternative to Russian gas. This is the purpose of his trip to Algeria the first two days of this week but on Wednesday he will be before a Parliament where the prospect of early legislative elections is becoming clearer.
Georgia Meloni, the new 45-year-old muse of the Italian radical right, was preparing for a consultation in 2023, she can only be delighted with this acceleration of the tempo. The Roman with an accent that could be cut with a knife from working-class neighborhoods knows that her initial refusal to participate in the Super Mario government coalition has further strengthened her position: the leader of the Fratelli d’Italia, the sovereignist and anti-immigration party, is in rise in the polls. She is very “vocal”: “I am Georgia, I am a woman, I am Italian, I am a Christian and you will not take it away from me”. Raised by a mother abandoned by her father, she made her debut in politics by joining the fascist youth of the Italian Social Movement. At 29, she was a deputy, at 31, in 2010, Minister of Youth of Cavaliere.
In 2012, she took her independence by founding Fratelli d’Italia. In 2020, The Times placed her in the “twenty rising stars” of the year. With Marion Maréchal, she doesn’t just share blonde hair, ideas too. She participated in several conferences with Victor Orban. In 2011, however, Georgia had voted confidence in the very European Monti. Today, more sovereignist than her, you die. Mario Draghi seemed to have put the country back on track. Will it have been only a parenthesis?
