22 Oct 2022 - 15:16

Giorgia Meloni, the leader of the right-wing "Brothers of Italy" party, was appointed as Italy's first female chancellor.


Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): After meeting with Italian President Sergio Mattarella, Ms. Giorgia Meloni undertook the task of forming the new government of this country.
 
The "Brothers of Italy" party, which won the majority of votes in the early elections on September 25, is the main force of the right-wing coalition, which also includes Silvio Berlusconi's Forza Italia party and Matteo Salvini's far-right League party.
 
According to Euronews, Matteo Salvini, the former Minister of Interior, and Antonio Tajani, the former President of the European Parliament, are mentioned as two members of Mrs. Meloni's cabinet.
 
Ms. Meloni, who is scheduled to be sworn in at 10 a.m. on Saturday, tweeted on Thursday that she is ready to give Italy a government that can deal with the current challenges and emergencies.
 
The release of an audio file attributed to Mr. Berlusconi, the former Italian chancellor, who says he exchanged gifts and letters of affection with Vladimir Putin, has made things difficult for Ms. Meloni's right-wing coalition.
 
On Thursday, October 20, Mrs. Meloni warned Italy's Forza party and Mr. Berlusconi that if they take such positions on Russia and the war in Ukraine, the members of this party will not have a place in his cabinet.
 
Ms. Meloni's threat has been raised while she needs the support of Italy's Forza party led by Mr. Berlusconi to form her government.
 
Matteo Salvini, another Meloni ally, is another person who has always admired Putin. Ms Meloney, who strongly supports NATO, has condemned Russia's military attack on Ukraine.
