Far-right leader Giorgia Meloni, who has rallied against “LBGT lobbies” and so-called “gender ideology”, is set to become Italy’s first female prime minister. Projections based on the near-final count of votes showed a victory for a right-wing coalition, led by Meloni’s Fratelli d’Italia (Brothers of Italy) party, should have a solid majority in both houses of parliament. If victorious, Meloni is expected to form Italy’s farthest-right government since World War II. Meloni said the vote showed Italians supported a right-wing government led by her party but said her party would “govern for everyone”.
