Far-right parties are expected to make significant gains in the upcoming European Union elections. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, leader of the Brothers of Italy party, is emerging as a pivotal figure. Meloni has been softening her message to win broader support while maintaining her far-right credentials through cultural policies at home and a Western-allied foreign policy. The rise of the far-right is driven by voter dissatisfaction with issues such as the cost of living, crime, immigration, and climate policies. While right-wing parties have struggled to work together due to divisions on issues like Ukraine, Meloni's potential role as a kingmaker in the EU parliament could tip the balance towards a more conservative agenda.
