As the ‘motors of Europe’ France and Germany are living troubled times with failing governments, and as the whole continent is swept by a conservative wind blowing away Globalist nonsense, one leader seized the power vacuum and has come into prominence in the year 2024: Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni.
Now, left-wing news site POLITICO has named her the most powerful person in Europe.

It took barely a decade for Meloni to morph from a minor figure dismissed as ‘an ultranationalist kook’ into the prime minister of the Italian Republic, a political leader relevant to both Brussels and Washington.
She has done that at the forefront of a no-nonsense conservative wave of right-wing populists.
Politico reported:
“Indeed, since her election in 2022, the Italian prime minister has introduced policies on issues like migration and LGBTQ+ rights that would once have drawn condemnation from Brussels. Instead, the reaction from European Union leaders has ranged from indifference to approval, with many accepting Meloni as the palatable representative of the ever-more-radical zeitgeist blossoming on both sides of the Atlantic.”
Reaching the top in politics usually takes a long time.
In the case of Giorgia Meloni, she started out in 1992 aged 15.

Italy’s first female prime minister was not expected to last long in office, but there she is – leading one of the most stable coalitions in postwar Italy.
“Meloni’s carefully cultivated, no-nonsense appearance contributes to the image of stability. After Campania region President Vincenzo De Luca referred to the prime minister as a ‘stronza’ (‘bitch’) at a campaign rally, the prime minister showed up to an event in his region and greeted the opposition politician by stating, ‘President De Luca, I am that bitch, Meloni. How are you doing?’”
Meloni is just a tiny woman, but she is also a badass.
“Presidente De Luca, la str**za della Meloni”
“President De Luca, I’m that b1tch Meloni.”
This is how PM Giorgia Meloni introduced herself to Campania President Vincenzo De Luca after he apostrophized her as “b1tch” a few months ago.

“Additionally, Meloni has targeted the Italian judges who have ruled some of her government’s policies to be illegal and posted social media screeds accusing them of plotting against her. Several jurists have subsequently received death threats and required police protection.”
She calls the ‘LGBTQ+ community’ a ‘lobby’ that is imposing its ‘gender ideology’ on her country.
But she has not been targeted by the Brussels establishment, and worked hard to convince them that she’s a trusted partner, keeping her own anti-EU rhetoric to a minimum.
She also revealed herself to be one of Ukraine’s most die-hard supporters.
The Italian PM came to the forefront of European politics as citizens across the EU rose against the migration crisis.
“Teaming up with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Meloni oversaw the forging of landmark deals with Tunisia, Mauritania and Egypt that funnel billions of euros to repressive regimes that keep migrants away from Europe by intercepting their boats, locking them in prisons or dumping them in the desert.”

Remember when the corporate media told us ‘world leaders don’t respect Trump!’
Every one of them would do anything to get Trump back now.

She came with the idea to outsource the detainment of illegal migrants to Albania. Globalist Italian judges have ruled the scheme is illegal and ordered the return of the asylum-seekers.
“The EU’s heads of government telegraphed their interest in Meloni’s approach at their meeting last October, where they agreed that ‘new ways to prevent and counter irregular migration should be considered’. Von der Leyen took that message to heart and is now planning on rolling out a draft directive on ‘returns’ as soon as February.”
She has been deemed ‘Orbán on steroids’.
“To be sure, Italy’s prime minister is no ‘Trump whisperer’. Her Brothers of Italy party has worked to establish deep links with the Republican Party, and Meloni herself was invited to address the crowd at CPAC, the U.S.’ annual summit of hyper-conservatives, in 2022. But she has only interacted with the president-elect a handful of times and does not enjoy as intense a relationship with him as Hungary’s Orbán, who has visited Trump’s Mar-a-Lago complex in Florida on numerous occasions.”
She is much appreciated by billionaire Musk, a fan of her immigration policies who has cheered her war on the judiciary.
Meloni is part of a winning conservative political phenomenon, a global patriotic movement of right-wing populists.
