Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni of Italy is a phenomenon in Europe. John Hinderaker of Power Line posts quotes about her from the London Times.
Roberto D’Alimonte, a politics professor at Luiss University in Rome, said: “She is the only prime minister of a major EU country who can expect to be there in three years — it’s a kind of stability Italy is not known for.” A senior official in the last Tory government put it more bluntly: “When she hosted the G7 meeting [in June], everyone else was a dead man walking.”
A British official says “She’s funny, she’s flirty, she’s charismatic with quite a gravelly voice. She gets on with with people who are different from her.”
Both Trump and Musk are impressed too. Meloni has made a good beginning.
Let’s hope her ‘reign’ turns out better than Angela Merkel’s. It’s easy to look ‘regal’ when the competition are all political ‘zombies’ - a too-frequent occurrence in Europe.
