Via Euronews: Far-right leader Giorgia Meloni sworn in as Italy’s first female prime minister https://www.euronews.com/2022/10/22/giorgia-meloni-sworn-in-as-italys-first-female-prime-minister

Giorgia Meloni, whose political party with neo-fascist roots, Brothers of Italy, emerged victorious in recent elections, was sworn in on Saturday as Italy’s first far-right prime minister since the end of World War II. 

Meloni, who is also Italy’s first woman PM, recited the oath of office before President Sergio Mattarella, who formally asked her to form a government a day earlier.

Fratelli d’Italia or Brothers of Italy, which she co-founded in 2012, will rule in coalition with the right-wing Lega or League of Matteo Salvini and the conservative Forza Italia party headed by octogenarian mainstay Silvio Berlusconi. 

Lega and Forza Italia’s popularity has sagged with voters in recent years.
