In Italy, voting is done in person at a local polling place. Voting by mail is prohibited (except for citizens living out of country). And, AFAIK, Mark Zuckerberg isn't allowed to hire a private army to meddle in the process. So, I am confident this was a free and fair election. Viva Fratelli d'Italia!
Sadly predictable. Any politician who actually attempts to represent the will of the people who elected them is automatically a 'racist' tyrant intent on initiating a new Fascist era. Mainstream news has truly become a fact-free zone.
I'm cautiously optimistic. Hopefully she isn't a disappointment like Trump and Boris were. If they can stop the immigrant boats, encourage marriage (which helps with household income, morals, child development, real estate, property values and sense of community). Make the current immigrants leave or assimilate and get some innovation they might get their country back. Prayers for Italy.
Hopefully she's a woman of action and won't just "monitor the situation" for four years like Trump did. Western European nations need an Orban and hopefully she's it but time will tell. As so often happens in America and elsewhere we get people who run on right wing rhetoric then move to the center once elected.
According to the NYT, 'norms' are when a white-majority Western nation with an ancient and mainly-wonderful history is overrun and brought to the brink of destruction by an invasion of illiterate, primitive leeches who hate the country and culture they are breaking into. When that happens, it's time to pop the champagne corks over at the Old Grey Lady But when the White majority is brought to the breaking point, their goodwill exhausted and their country nearly in ruins and dares to say "hey, what about us? We built all of this!" the Times screams FASCIST! It's literally all they know how to do (except to scream RACIST!) The Times' coverage of Italy's desire to be Italy will serve as a template for their coverage of the campaign and election of President DeSantis who will be viciously excoriated and slandered far beyond even what they did to Trump.
In the meantime, whenever I can't find a "Made in America" product that I'm looking for, I'll seek out a "Made in Italy" substitute. Italy is famous for very high quality consumer products and I'll be delighted to help their manufacturers along as much as I can. I wish to encourage other readers to do the same, and to keep our dear Italian Friends in your prayers as well. They have some rough seas ahead, but I'm so very happy that they have what appears to be a strong and capable leader at the helm, who loves her country deeply.
Thank you for the follow up and update on this migrant issue. Time will tell. It usually does. Steadiness comes from character and commitment. Thank you again Ann.
Meloni's government should seize NGO ships used to transport thousands of illegals across Africa to Italy and use them to ship those migrants back to Africa. The new government should also make state run media in Italy more objective. No more news reports that only favor the Left.

Sounds like Italy doesn't do Ballot Harvesting or Dominion Smart.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it will be interesting to see how much her life gets turned upside down from here on in.
I wish her lots of luck
Lying phony populist politicians, the greatest threat to the Constitution & the Rights it guaranties to the individual-->
"Let’s just hope Meloni keeps her promises, and doesn’t end up a big, fat loser, like Donald Trump and Boris Johnson."

The EU's Mediterranean sunset.
I imagine the economic disaster engendered by 'Shower Me Daddy' helped.
Highly embarrassing times for America.
My prayers 🙏 for the new boss lady of Italy 🇮🇹
I like Ann grew up in Connecticut but in a very Italian region.
My cousins grandparents were from Sicily and I have a LOT of love for the Italian culture.
To them faith, family, children and FOOD! are everything.
Make America ITALY 🇮🇹
Maybe we need to tweak this part of the constitution for better leaders as in I wish she was our president.
I love madame lieutenant Governor Winsome Sears of Virginia too.
The Times can't help it. It's their nature.
Based Europe rising?

Or she could send them to Martha's Vineyard.
