 Giorgia Meloni Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Giorgia Meloni has just marked three years in power as Italy’s prime minister, a tenure that stands out in a country famous for its political churn, making her government one of the longest-lived since World War II. According to Le Monde, she remains the first woman to lead Italy, and the first from her political lineage since the fascist era, all while steadying Italy’s international reputation and winning favor with Brussels and financial markets due to her success in shrinking Italy’s public deficit. That fiscal belt-tightening has drawn the admiration of credit rating agencies, yet beneath the surface, Italy’s growth remains sluggish and promised reforms aimed at regional autonomy and institutional overhaul have stalled.

This week, Meloni has been especially visible on the global stage. She recently spoke at the National Italian American Foundation’s Gala in Washington, DC, celebrating the contributions of Italian-Americans; she forcefully defended Columbus Day, warning against “woke” culture erasing shared traditions and history. As covered by The European Conservative, Meloni described Italy and the U.S. as “the two pillars of the free world,” a sentiment underscored by her proximity to Donald Trump, who showcased her remarks on Truth Social and has repeatedly praised her leadership.

Her international profile has grown even more prominent, including participation in the Middle East Peace Summit in Sharm el-Sheikh on October 13. As noted by France 24 this week, Meloni enjoys a strong bond with both Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, largely for maintaining a pragmatic approach despite her roots in the far-right Brothers of Italy party. Under her watch, the public deficit has dropped dramatically, and unemployment is at its lowest in two decades. However, these successes mask persistent problems, including flat wage growth and economic expansion still trailing Eurozone peers.

Controversially, her administration has faced criticism for perceived democratic backsliding—implementing bans on registering children of same-sex parents, passing laws that give anti-abortion groups access to women considering terminations, and increasing judicial pressure on journalists. Human rights groups warn that a proposed security law could criminalize protest. Immigration policy also reveals a pragmatic streak: while illegal migration has fallen by 60 percent, legal migration is rising as Italy plans to grant half a million non-European work visas by 2028, aiming to counteract a demographic decline of 1.3 million over ten years. These moves show Meloni’s ideological ambitions often collide with economic and social realities.

Fake news and social media drama have also swirled around Meloni in recent days. La Voce di New York exposed a doctored video circulating online falsely claiming Meloni had reversed her support for Ukraine; it’s important to note this is entirely fabricated. According to Euractiv, Trump’s amplification of another video claiming Meloni was pushing a trade deal defying the EU sparked uproar in Italian political circles, illustrating the ongoing risks and influence of digital misinformation during her term.

Meloni’s ability to endure and evolve in Italy’s political landscape has led some analysts at the LSE to consider whether her brand of balanced nationalism and pragmatism will remain an asset—or become a liability—as she faces stalled reforms and the challenges of economic stagnation. Italian voters continue to support her with Fratelli d’Italia polling consistently above 26 percent, indicating her policies resonate despite controversies.
