Giorgia Meloni and her Brothers of Italy are now in power in Italy. Among the things she has done is strengthening bilateral relations with India.
In the last episode, we explore how Giorgia Meloni rose to power. In this episode, we will look at how Meloni has changed the public perception of her part as a “conservative champion of patriotism.”
After being elected the Prime Minister of Italy, she made several efforts to pull the party from the fringes and establish it as a “conservative champion of patriotism.” The change in public perception helped Meloni and her party come to power.
In 2020, Meloni was elected as the president of the European Conservatives and Reformists Party. Her selection as the president helped in changing the public perception of Brothers of Italy.
Despite her efforts to change the public perception, in which she has largely been successful, her views on various social issues remain a topic of debate.
An article published on the Guardian mentions the following:
“…her hardline views on issues such as illegal immigration – she has called for the navy to turn migrants back to Africa – abortion, same-sex marriage and parenting remain.”
Furthermore, the Bothers of Italy-led coalition has declared their clear views against Italian citizenship granted to children born in Italy to foreign parents. Meloni’s government also seeks to decrease medical welfare granted to foreigners.
The Guardian article mentions:
“Meloni has also tried to cleanse her party of its neofascist image. In August, she issued a video, spoken in English, French and Spanish, in which she said “fascism has been consigned to history”…”
While Meloni’s government needs to settle various internal issues, her foreign policy has been eventful.
Meloni has openly credited Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India, for several
geopolitical and trade achievements. Meloni has also helped create a new chapter in India-Italy bilateral relations.
The Italian Prime Minister was the guest of honor at the Raisina Dialogue this year, where India and Italy took their relationship to the next level. In addition to having diplomatic significance, the occasion was also symbolically noteworthy.
An article published on the Diplomat mentions:
“While the Italian prime minister was in India for the dialogue, Meloni and Modi announced the upgrade of their countries’ relationship to a strategic partnership. The decision follows a similar development in Italy’s relationship with Japan, announced just a few weeks prior, and sheds light on Italy’s growing interest and activism in the Indo-Pacific area.”
