Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is continuing to sell out her populist platform, turning her back on Hungary’s Viktor Orban following the European Parliament elections.
Orban, a Donald Trump ally whose country is taking over the rotating presidency of the European Union (EU) under the slogan ‘Make Europe Great Again,’ is attempting to join forces with Meloni in the European Parliament. Meloni’s Brothers of Italy (FdI) and Orban’s Fidesz won the European elections in their respective countries, and populists generally earned stronger representation than ever before.
