After the victory of the right-wing and far-right coalition in the Italian legislative elections, the hardest part could well begin for Giorgia Meloni who, in all likelihood, will become the country's new Prime Minister.
It will have to form a government and find suitable profiles for key positions.
Giorgia Meloni is not yet officially the new Italian Prime Minister.
There is no doubt about his appointment, however, since his party,
Fratelli d'Italia,
came out on top in the legislative elections on Sunday evening.
Once inducted, she will have to compose her government team but not only.

Finding ministers will not necessarily be the most difficult task.
Charisma, notoriety, personality, the cast can easily be drawn.
Especially since the headliners - in particular the leader of the Northern League Matteo Salvini - will not want to stay behind the scenes.
The executives of Silvio Berlusconi
If management could quickly become a headache, the biggest challenge will be to find the competent men who will occupy the key positions in the administration.
Like the National Front in France a few years ago.
Giorgia Meloni will have to find senior civil servants, directors of cabinet, men in the shadows who adhere to the movement's project but who also accept its history and in particular the post-fascist label of the party.

Nevertheless, Giorgia Meloni, elected the youngest Italian MP but also the youngest minister under Silvio Berlusconi, has networks and can still rely on the executives who surrounded the various governments of the latter, whose
Forza Italia
party was indeed part of the victorious coalition.
But the new strong woman of the Italian right must necessarily wonder about the loyalty that these executives will show towards her.
However, Giorgia Meloni has no choice since her
Fratelli d'Italia
party was still a marginal formation in the country just four years ago.
