Rome, Italy – Giorgia Meloni, leader of the Brothers of Italy party has become Italy’s first woman prime minister. The country has given the centre-right leader a clear mandate to govern and that she would lead a government for all Italians.
Voters had sent a “clear indication that they want a centre-right government to guide Italy.” As her supporters hugged, Meloni said the fact that the Brothers of Italy had secured the most votes was a moment of pride.
Giorgia Meloni’s Fratelli d’Italia (Brothers of Italy) party are set to gain 26.4% of the vote, according to an exit poll early Monday morning.
As expected, rather than celebrating a woman becoming the nation’s first prime minister, the angry media went crazy with their narratives.
Almost every headline had the terms “far-right” or ‘“right-wing”, some even went as far to compare the newly elected Prime Minister to Mussolini.
