“In a Facebook post, [former prime minister Giuseppe Conte] promised to lead an ‘uncompromising opposition...

Meloni's political opponent prioritizes family equality at the same level as business equality (ET - CODER COMMENT). “The buildup to the election was dominated by hot-button issues including Italy’s cost-of-living crisis, a 209 billion euro ($200 billion) package from the European Covid-19 recovery fund and the country’s support for Ukraine” (para 19).

“Addressing the media and supporters in the early hours of Monday morning [after the election], Meloni said it was ‘a night of pride for many and a night of redemption’” (para 2). Meloni calls the election a "redemption". This seems to mostly apply to members of her party, because she is the first member to be elected prime minister. However, it could also extend to women at large, because she is the first woman to be elected prime minister (ET - CODER COMMENT).

However, it seems as though he claims the entire alliance's victory as his own victory, ignoring the female-led party which won 26% of votes compared to his party's 9% of votes (ET - CODER COMMENT). “‘Undoubtedly we cannot, in light of the data seen so far, not attribute the victory to the right dragged by Giorgia Meloni....more

Whereas Berlusconi and Salvini have both said they would like to review sanctions against Russia because of their impact on the Italian economy, Meloni has been steadfast in her support for defending Ukraine” (para 9).
