At the head of the Fratelli d’Italia party, which she founded, she competes on the right with Matteo Salvini of the Lega
Giorgia Meloni, 45, is the woman who directs the destinies of the Italian far-right party Fratelli d’Italia (The Brothers of Italy). She so successfully that she is already competing for the electoral space with the head of the Lega, Matteo Salvini. Donald Trump’s former adviser, Steve Bannon, calls her “the rational face of right-wing populism.” She has her own song, ‘Io sono Giorgia’, a viral hit on YouTube and raises admiration among her followers. This Sunday, Ella Meloni will campaign in favor of Macarena Olona, Vox’s candidate for the Presidency of the Board, at a rally to be held together with Santiago Abascal in Marbella. It will be the first politician from abroad to intervene in the election campaign in Andalusia.
Meloni’s party is booming. It has already been said. In fact, she is leading the polls for the general elections scheduled for Italy in March 2023. But who is Meloni? He is not a new face in Italian institutional politics. In 2008, Silvio Berlusconi chose her as Minister of Youth and Sports for the government that he then headed. Meloni left Berlusconi’s party (Popolo della Libertà) in 2012 and then founded Fratelli d’Italia. In 2014 she became the first woman to lead an Italian party. Unlike Salvini, in her public appearances, Meloni dispenses with gestures and speeches that have their origin in a nostalgic vision of Mussolini.
Meloni is a politician who fascinates her faithful to such an extent that her song, the aforementioned ‘Io sono Giorgia’, continues to cause fury on the internet. In it you can hear how she draws a profile of herself very much in tune with the conservative currents that are once again gaining a foothold on the European continent: «I am Giorgia, a woman, a mother and a Christian. I do not believe in a State that puts the rights of homosexuals before those of other citizens. They want to steal our identity, turn us into part parent 1 and part parent 2.”
Homeland and family. Those are the issues that most concern Meloni. The song, which was originally intended to discredit her, had the opposite effect. Even her nieces ended up dancing to the sound of her aunt’s voice. With a mix between a calm tone of voice and Italian temperament, she has managed to be heard by the whole country. Behind her figure, apparently delicate, hides a harsh and implacable policy. Contrary to what happens with Matteo Salvini, she does not need images of saints or rosaries to achieve her goals or to generate attention.
Candidate’s opening act
He grew up in Rome, in the working-class neighborhood of Garbatella. Which could be an obstacle if you consider what his political ideal is. Despite this, he joined, while still in high school, the Fronte Nazionale della Gioventù, a youth organization of the post-fascist Movimento Sociale Italiano (MSI) party. From there he began to make his way to the highest spheres of politics. Despite always moving in a parliamentary landscape marked by the presence of men.
On Sunday, at the Parque de la Constitución in Marbella, Meloni will act as the opening act for Olona and Abascal. It will be the most relevant campaign act that Vox will have in the province of Malaga. It will not be the first time that Abascal and Meloni face each other. Both leaders met last winter in Madrid to deepen the international alliances that are being forged between the most conservative parties on the European map. Meloni intervened in an act within the framework of the so-called ‘Agenda España’ by Vox. “Patriots,” she shouted from the lectern. “Here I feel at home because I breathe the air and culture of national pride. An air with roots and future, an air of history and identity».
From there, he began to attack the usual ghosts: globalism, the 2030 agenda, the LGTBI dictatorship, gender laws and the oligarchs of Silicon Valley. Everything, covered in a martial tone and close breath. Also against the European Union, which the leftist parties would have turned into something like a Soviet Union. No bold comparison is out of place for Meloni.
