Brothers of Italy leader met President Mattarella with allies Matteo Salvini and Silvio Berlusconi
Giorgia Meloni has formed Italy’s new ruling coalition, giving the country its first far right-led government since the end of the second world war and becoming the first woman tapped to serve as the country’s prime minister.
A presidential palace official announced that Meloni and her cabinet would be sworn in on Saturday. Meloni’s Brothers of Italy, a party with neo-fascist roots, was the top vote-getter in Italy’s national election last month.
