Marine Le Pen would like to see a billboard there. The leader of the National Rally shared this Saturday her congratulations to Giorgia Meloni, the new head of the Italian government. “All my wishes for success,” says the former candidate for the presidential elections in France on Twitter.
“Throughout Europe, patriots are coming to power and with them, this Europe of nations that we are reclaiming,” Judge Marine Le Pen.
In her message, Marine Le Pen also sends a friendly message to Matteo Salvini, Deputy Prime Minister, who will be in charge of the Infrastructure and Transport portfolio. It must be said that the National Association is closer to the Lega representative than to the new Prime Minister, with whom relations may have been fresh.
Fundamental differences between the two women.
If Giorgia Meloni’s and Marine Le Pen’s movements meet in their opposition to Brussels policy or immigration, other issues separate them. On social issues, the new Italian leader maintains a conservative discourse, close to that of Eric Zemmour. Economically, he shows a liberal profile, wishing in particular to tackle the retirement age, which he wants to be pushed back to 67, when Marine Le Pen foresees it rather at 62.
This Saturday, Giorgia Meloni was the first to take the oath, from the Quirinal presidential palace in Rome, followed by her two deputy prime ministers from the two partner parties in her coalition, Matteo Salvini, leader of the Anti-Migrant League, and Antonio Tajani. , high official of Silvio Berlusconi’s Forza Italia party.
They all followed one another in front of Sergio Mattarella to pronounce, standing, the traditional oath: “I swear to be faithful to the Republic, loyally respect the Constitution and the laws, and perform my functions in the exclusive interest of the nation.” .
