ROME - Ms Giorgia Meloni will address Italy’s Parliament for the first time as prime minister on Tuesday, setting out her plan for government one month after her far-right party’s historic election victory.
Ms Meloni’s coalition, which includes former premier Silvio Berlusconi’s right-wing Forza Italia party, agreed before the election on an expensive programme of tax cuts and spending promises. But to govern she needs Mr Salvini’s League party, which won nine per cent in the elections, and Mr Berlusconi, whose party won eight percent.
