Exactly 100 years after dictator Benito Mussolini established fascist regime in Italy, a far-right prime minister was born this year.



On the 21st local time, President Sergio Mattarella appointed Giorza Meloni (45), the representative of the Italian Brothers (FdI), as Prime Minister and delegated the authority to form a government to him.



Meloni became the first female prime minister in Italy's history and the first woman in power to rule the far-right in 1922, when Mussolini took office.



"Gorza Meloni has accepted her mandate to form a government and has submitted her list of ministers," said President Hugo Zampetti's office.



Meloni's nominee for Prime Minister has submitted a list of 24 ministerial ministers to President Mattarella for approval, one more than her predecessor.



In the midst of overlapping economic crises such as soaring energy prices and the war in Ukraine, the current Minister of Economic Development Giancarlo Jorgeti was appointed as the finance minister who drew the most attention.



Former European Parliament Chairman Antonio Tazari was elected Foreign Minister and Guido Crosetto, co-founder of FDL, was elected as Defense Minister.



Prime Minister nominee Meloni, along with 24 of her ministers, will take the oath of office at 10 a.m. on the 22nd at the Quirinal Palace in Rome, the presidential residence.



A new cabinet, led by Prime Minister Meloni, will officially take office next week after a vote of confidence in the House and Senate.



In the early general election held on the 25th of last month, Meloni formed a right-wing coalition with Matteo Salvini's League (Lega) and former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's Forward Italy (FI), winning 115 out of 200 seats in the Senate and 237 out of 400 in the House of Representatives. won a landslide victory.



As the right-wing coalition has taken control of both the House and the Senate, it is expected that the passage will pass without much trouble unless there is a rebellion vote.



When the parliamentary approval process for a new cabinet is completed, the 68th cabinet since the establishment of the Republic in 1946 will be inaugurated.



President Mattarella said that negotiations to form a government took only a month, which was fairly quick by Italian political standards.



Italy is a cabinet country, but the president has the power to appoint a prime minister.



President Mattarella nominated Meloni as Prime Minister after meeting with the Speakers of the Senate and House of Representatives and leaders of each faction in turn for two days from the previous day.



The center-left party leaders who met with President Mattarella the day before are known to have expressed their objection, saying that if the far-right Melony is nominated as prime minister, the right to abortion will be reduced and the human rights of LGBT people will be threatened.



The right-wing coalition, who visited the presidential residence this morning, unanimously requested that Meloni, who had put the FdI in the top party in the parliamentary election, be nominated as prime minister.



Melanie, who met President Mattarella with a delegation of the right-wing coalition, received a call this afternoon and visited the president's residence again to accept the nomination as prime minister.



Meloni is a far-right politician who has established a position by preaching anti-immigrant/anti-refugee, anti-homosexuality and anti-European integration under the banner of 'Strong Italy'.



The coalition on the right, led by him, achieved victory in the general election by focusing on dissatisfaction and anxiety caused by the COVID-19 lockdown, inflation, energy crisis, and low growth.



FdI, founded in 2012 by Meloni and serving as its representative since 2014, is the successor of the National Fascist Party (PNF) founded by Mussolini.



This is why Meloni is called a 'woman Mussolini' and a 'fascist prime minister' and is the reason the international community is concerned.



Meloni herself has repeatedly expressed her support for Ukraine, but since her coalition partners Salvini and Berlusconi are considered representative pro-Putin and pro-Russian figures, there is also a prospect that a rift may arise in the united ranks of Russia against Europe.
