Her right-wing bloc is expected to prevail in the general election Sunday.
On other issues, Meloni diverges from nationalist peers in Italy and elsewhere in Europe. She’s a strong supporter of NATO. And she shows no affinity for Russian President Vladimir Putin.The Italian left has sounded an alarm: Meloni could push Italy into the European Union’s illiberal bloc, alongside Hungary and Poland, fighting diversity and agitating against Brussels. While most Italian leaders have sought tighter integration among the 27 E.U. nations, Meloni wants the opposite: More autonomy.
In her interview with The Post, she emphasized economic concerns. She spoke of the rising cost of energy and raw materials, uncertainty about whether the pandemic might come roaring back, and Italy’s towering public debt — which leaves the country perpetually several missteps from crisis.Meloni’s party is the most popular in the country, favored by roughly one-quarter of voters.
The conservative bloc has said that the premier job should go to the leader of the party with the most votes.The catch now for Meloni is that to enter government, she’ll need the support of Matteo Salvini, the far-right politician she has eclipsed, and whose party is part of the coalition.
More likely is that Meloni becomes prime minister and then faces a decision about what position to give Salvini. Because their parties draw from a similar pool of voters, they’re natural rivals. It could be weeks before the parties work out who should get the job. And then the president, Sergio Mattarella, has final say on who gets the mandate.
