Giorgia Meloni Announces Candidacy for European Parliament

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni seeks to boost her party's influence in Europe, despite likely not taking her seat if elected.

Meloni aims to replicate her domestic political success at the European level by running in the upcoming EU elections.
Critics label Meloni's candidacy as a strategic move to enhance her party's visibility rather than a genuine bid for a seat.
Meloni's campaign touches on themes like surrogacy, illegal immigration, and the protection of family and Christian values.
Despite her candidacy, Meloni vows not to use her time as Prime Minister to campaign, ensuring her focus remains on national duties.
The Brothers of Italy party, led by Meloni, continues to lead in national polls, leveraging her popularity for greater electoral success.
