Giorgia Meloni (born January 15, 1977, Rome, Italy) is a conservative Italian journalist and politician, serving as the current prime minister of Italy. Co-founder of the Brothers of Italy party, and its president since 2014, Meloni has also been the president of the European Conservatives and Reformists Party since 2020. She has been a member of the Italian Chamber of Deputies since 2006, and served in the cabinet as Minister of Youth from 2008 to 2011. She is the first woman to hold the position of Italian prime minister.
Amid severe inflation and energy shortages in Italy in 2022, the right-wing coalition won the majority of seats in parliament during the election, and on 22 October 2022, Meloni was appointed the next prime minister, succeeding Mario Draghi.[1] The liberal media is calling her Italy's first far-right prime minister since World War II. EU dictator Ursula von der Leyen threatened the people of Italy if Meloni and her coalition win control of parliament.[2] Meloni opposes open borders and mass migration.[3]
In September 2022, Meloni, who is fluent in English, went viral in a post on twitter (that now has over 20 million views) of a speech she gave against the attack on traditional values.[4] She has welcomed Elon Musk to Italy several times, including hosting him in June 2023, such that the Wall Street Journal described it as "one of 2023’s more unlikely trans-Atlantic alliances" particulariy on immigration, demographics, and artificial intelligence.[5]

In December 2023 as NATO faced defeat in the war in Ukraine, Meloni told the two Russian radio DJs Vovan and Lexus posing as African officials in a prank phone call: “We are near the moment in which everybody understands that we need a way out.”[10]
