Meloni's Turbulent First Year as Italy PM: Economy Woes and Family Divisions
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's first year in power has been marred by weak economic growth, high interest on the country's debt, and a split with her long-time partner. Despite being seen as the country's most right-wing government since Mussolini, Meloni has focused on building good ties with Western allies and adopting a pro-Western, EU-friendly stance. However, the economy remains a major challenge, with low growth and high debt levels. Meloni's coalition government looks solid, benefiting from a divided opposition, but she faces personal and political challenges as she navigates the economic and social issues facing Italy.
