Premier Giorgia Meloni has been
ranked as the most powerful person in Europe this year by
Politico.
The international publication on Tuesday crowned the Italian
prime minister in its Class of 2025 rankings.
"Who do you call if you want to speak to Europe?
"If you're Elon Musk — the world's richest man and a key adviser
to United States President-elect Donald Trump — the number you
dial belongs to Giorgia Meloni", the magazine wrote, describing
her as the perfect "representative of the ever-more-radical
zeitgeist blossoming on both sides of the Atlantic".
"In less than a decade, the leader of the right-wing Brothers of
Italy party has gone from being dismissed as an ultranationalist
kook to being elected prime minister of Italy and establishing
herself as a figure with whom Brussels, and now Washington, can
do business", noted Politico, in a long description of Meloni's
rise to power and of the main events of her two years in
government, described as one of the most stable in post-war
Italy.
