Italy's PM Giorgia Meloni to run in EU election

[RandySF]

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on Sunday announced she would run as her ruling party Brothers of Italy’s lead candidate in the European election in June.

“I’ve decided to step into the field to lead the lists of Brothers of Italy in all constituencies,” Meloni said at a party event in Pescara, Italy.

“We want to create a majority that brings together the center-right forces and send the left into the opposition even in the EU. It’s a difficult undertaking, but it’s possible, and we must try,” the prime minister said.

Meloni is the latest major Italian political figure to announce her intentions to run in the June election, and her move seems designed to use her personal popularity to boost her party’s chances in the European vote.

1. So apparently one may hold more than one office at a time in Italy?

Just what the European Parliament needs, another fascist.
