Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announced today that she will run in the elections for the European Parliament in June in an effort to strengthen support for her party Brothers of Italy, but that she will not take over the mandate, if elected.
The elections for the European Parliament are held from June 6 to 9.
“We want to do the same in Europe, as we are doing in Italy, to create a majority that gathers the forces of the center-right and to send the left into the opposition,” Melonieva emphasized at her party’s conference in the city of Pescara, where she launched the campaign.
According to the latest results of polls, her party has the strongest support with 27 percent of support and is ahead of the opposition Democratic Party /PD/ which has 20 percent of support and the Five Star Movement which has 16 percent.
