Seen from New York, Italy, which in a few hours will celebrate the absolute record for the longest tenure of a prime minister at Palazzo Chigi, is a better country. And the credit goes entirely to Giorgia Meloni, much to the dismay of the Democratic Party, Five Star Movement, Greens and Left Alliance and the loudest voices of the most defeatist left-wing commentators.

Meloni’s Italy is defined as a “pragmatic”, “central” and “significant” nation for the role it plays within the European Union.

There are also the ties established with Africa thanks to the Mattei Plan, the very frank relations with Donald Trump and equally direct ones with China. According to the NY Times, the reduction of dependence on Beijing for critical raw materials demonstrates Italy’s “strength, weight and ability” to find its place in the world, marking the way for the new European right.
