🇮🇹 Giorgia Meloni
Far-right ex-general sets his terms for Meloni
What happened
Roberto Vannacci, a former special forces general, has set conditions for supporting Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, including no more support for Ukraine, ending the EU's Green Deal, and deporting migrants. He estimates that 4% of Italy's population, approximately 2.4 million people, should be repatriated. Vannacci has stated that he will not seek a cabinet job and wants to remain the leader of his party.
Why it matters
The potential alliance between Vannacci's party and Meloni's government could impact Italy's stance on key international issues, including Ukraine and the EU's Green Deal. The conditions set by Vannacci could also affect the lives of millions of migrants in Italy. The outcome of the next election and the potential consequences of Vannacci's conditions will be closely watched.
