Giorgia Meloni is "the most powerful person in Europe" according to the ranking for the year 2025 of the European edition of the American magazine Politico.
"Who do you call if you want to talk to Europe? If you're Elon Musk, the richest man in the world and a top adviser to US President-elect Donald Trump? The number you get on the phone belongs to Giorgia Meloni," the article begins dedicated to the prime minister.
"In less than a decade, the leader of the right-wing "Brothers of Italy" party has gone from ultra-nationalist to prime minister of Italy, establishing herself as a figure with whom Brussels, and now Washington, can do business."
So Politico returns to recognize the great merits of Giorgia Meloni after electing her "the most concrete leader in the EU" in November 2023.
Meloni made world headlines as Italy's first female prime minister, but few would have predicted her long tenure in power.
Analysts believed the infighting would inevitably split her right-wing ruling coalition and there was little enthusiasm for it in Brussels.
But over the past two years Meloni has consolidated her government as one of the most stable in post-Italy, although the country is weighed down by a public debt equal to 137% of GDP, the economic outlook is not as bleak as frighten foreign investors, attracted by an extremely calm political climate", the article reads, among other things.
