Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni emerges as most popular leader in EU

Columnist Professor Walter Russell Mead says Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is the most popular leader in the European Union at the present time. “She has a 52 per cent approval rate, and none of the others are close to that,“ Professor Mead told Sky News host Rita Panahi. “She’s a very intelligent woman; she’s not going to start her time in office with a fight with the European Union that results in Italy’s budget being cut in various ways.“
