Italy’s Giorgia Meloni Suffers a Far-Right Setback

Bloomberg: “Italy’s prime minister is something of a model for far-right contenders in Europe, where she serves as an example of how a rabble-rousing provocateur can successfully transition to the mainstream.”

“Now she’s suffered defeat — in a referendum of her own making on a judicial overhaul few Italians understood. It became a plebiscite on her, exposing her over-confidence a year ahead of a general election she was looking to win to lay down her legacy.”
