Meloni confirms Italy's place in Europe and NATO
Giorgia Meloni

The new Italian Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, presented her governing program on Tuesday, reaffirming her support for the European Union and Ukraine. She also pledged to work on economic growth and rejected fascism. A month after her party's election victory, Meloni used her speech to Parliament to tell the people and allies that she is a steady hand in the Eurozone's third-largest economy.

"Italy is completely part of Europe and the Western world", said the 45-year-old in the Parliament, adding that this country will continue to be "a reliable partner in NATO, in terms of support for Ukraine".

Meloni, who was sworn in as Italy's first female prime minister on Saturday, has dismissed possible links to her country's fascist past, saying she has "never felt sympathy or closeness to undemocratic regimes, including fascism". ".

Doubts about the possibility of a Eurosceptic and populist government in Italy - a member country of NATO and the European Union - have raised concerns in Brussels, although EU leaders were quick to congratulate her on her victory and pledged cooperation.

The government of her predecessor, Mario Draghi, has been among the most powerful supporters of the EU, in terms of imposing sanctions on Russia for the war started in Ukraine.

Although he has been in the opposition, Meloni has supported Draghi's approach to Ukraine.

However, one of her coalition partners, former Italian Prime Minister Sivio Berlusconi, was filmed last week defending his close friend, Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Italy was heavily dependent on Russian gas before the war, and is currently grappling with inflation and expensive energy bills, raising the risk of a recession next year.

Meloni has said that he will work to increase aid for businesses and family economies, as they face such a reality, and that he will not give in to "Putin's blackmail for energy".

The war in Ukraine started on February 24. Russian President Vladimir Putin considers the war a "special military operation" to demilitarize Ukraine. The West has responded to Russia, hitting the economy of this country with harsh sanctions. As a result of the war, thousands of people have died and millions more have been displaced from their homes./REL
