EU chiefs congratulate right-wing Meloni on becoming Italian PM • FRANCE 24 English

European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen on Saturday congratulated far-right leader Giorgia Meloni on becoming Italian prime minister and said she looked forward to "constructive cooperation" with her government.

[plweis]

I would say she is more traditional centrist; certainly not right wing.

[rogerslater]

Let’s hope the media and vested interest don’t try to destroy her before she has even started . Good luck to her !

[patriciaa.]

She's not far right. Anyways congratulations 👏👏

[raunaksinghdhanjal]

When a non right wing politician wins we dont say left wing, or centerist or whatever. But when we talk about right wing we need to mention it as it becomes a point of consern. As if we all already decided which wing is better

[VWJPG]

Her anti-immigration policy will save Italy.

[Whatmatters]

When you were speaking about the UK prime minister, you never told us which wing she is, same as Australia or america or France. Almost every bulletin of yours on the new leader refers to her as a right win instead of her name and her position in the Italian government.

It shows how this channel no longer broadcast news but bias and propaganda from one side

[d.sertsedesta]

She is not far right. She has a very clear vision and personality that respects the very values of human beings and as Italian leader, she loves her country. That is all.

[przemos]

... and after that eu chiefs put sanctions on Italy as they did earlier with Poland and Hungary

[terranrepublic]

And to set the record straight, when they call you far right, you must've done something right

[daidavies]

This will Bring back Italy from the brink of EU Rule… They will leave the Eu…The main thing for the Media like yourself to learn is SHE IS NOT FAR RIGHT the sooner you get that FACT out of your Heads the better, ,, She leads a Moderate Party of common sense….

[safehandsprojects]

Haha, ha EU chief just met his worst nightmare

[nathanielguggenheim]

Let's hope this is the beginning of the people's uprise in Europe. I'm in.

[freyjagunnar]

I can already feel it that she is the right women for the job and she will perform as being the Prime Minister.

[jerrymiller]

She is not far right any more than the rest of them are far left

[mariaolivieri]

Auguri presidente Giorgia Meloni ❤️ 🇮🇹 Dio la benedica.

[AmrTX]

Italy should be proud, I won’t usually vote for a woman but I would vote for this one, what a brave wonderful lady.

[ashwinhm]

'Right Wing' really? You don't call the democrats left wing. Why the distinction?

[MyWissam]

We are always at the brink of fascism while purportedly we are fighting for democracy in Ukraine.

[CanadaIsrael]

Unless the Lord builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the Lord guards the city, The watchman keeps awake in vain. It is vain for you to rise up early, To retire late, To eat the bread of painful labors; For He gives to His beloved even in his sleep. Behold, children are a gift of the Lord, The fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one’s youth. How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them; They will not be ashamed When they speak with their enemies in the gate.
Psalms 127:1‭-‬5

Are there any far left parties in Italy?
