Erik Jones on what Giorgia Meloni’s government could be | Podcast

Robert Schuman Centre Director Erik Jones is guest of the newest episode of Altamar Podcast 'Italy's Right Turn' on how radical Giorgia Meloni’s government could be.

How can a country transition from someone like Mario Draghi to a newcomer like Giorgia Meloni? Who and what failed in this elections? What will this change imply for the Italian history? What do the Center and the Left need to do to come back after this? What is this government going to do? Will Meloni be able to implement her agenda with independence? Will she be captured by the men's club mentality instead? How will the relation with Brussels and the United States be like?

Listen here as Erik Jones explores these themes in a conversation with the podcast co-hosts Muni Jensen, Peter Schechter and Téa Ivanovic.

"The only reason that Giorgia Meloni has this huge majority in both chambers of Parliament is because the Left refused to work together. The person who’s being regarded in the electorate as most responsible for that failure is the outgoing leader of the Democratic Party Enrico Letta."
