One Year In, Meloni Leads Italy's Right with Focus on Migration, Traditional Values

Meloni became Italy's first female prime minister a year ago, heading a right-wing coalition government. She has toned down her rhetoric and is taking a more pragmatic approach domestically and with the EU.

Meloni is focused on curbing migration and has worked with EU leaders on this, though results have been mixed so far.

She promotes conservative family values and policies targeting traditional families, while restricting rights for same-sex parents.

Meloni has built relationships with other nationalist world leaders like Modi and Orban.

She remains popular at home and intends to serve the full 5-year term, though the opposition criticizes her performance on economic issues.
