Strengthened by success in the electionsamong the very few leaders in Europe to be so, Giorgia Meloni “enjoys the spotlight of the G7”, which he will host from Thursday to Saturday in Puglia. The New York Times writes this, according to which the victory of the prime minister, leader of Fdi, “could not have come at a better time: all eyes are on her” in view of the summit, which represents “another” occasion “to present yourself as a legitimate member of the club of the most influential leaders in the world.”
“When she became prime minister in 2022, she sent shudders through the European establishment due to her far-right, Eurosceptic credentials and post-fascist roots. Now that establishment sees it as a pragmatic partner on key international issues“, recalls the liberal American newspaper, which in recent months had already spared no praise for Meloni, defining her as a “credible and influential leader”.
According to the New York Times, this pragmatic approach of the prime minister, a “reference figure” for the right that wants to become mainstream, “serves as a model for other leaders”, such as Marine Le Pen in France, who “has softened her position on important issues and polished his image.”
On the international scene, then, Meloni has become “a crucial player” on issues such as support for Ukraine, which has distinguished her from other parts of the far right that tend to be more pro-Russian, the newspaper notes, and “this l ‘has put in a good light with the host of Western leaders who will meet this week in Puglia.”
