"Biden and Meloni's Alliance Sparks Controversy Among Base and Raises Concerns Over Ukraine Policy"

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's shift from anti-globalist to pro-Europe and her close relationship with President Biden has infuriated her base, with some voters expressing they will not vote for her anymore. Critics argue that she has strayed from the hardline stances she supported during her campaign, particularly on issues such as immigration and European policy. Despite her previous anti-European rhetoric, Meloni has assumed a more globalist stance on most issues, including foreign policy discussions with Biden on Ukraine, Gaza, and migration.

"Italian Political Uproar Over Fascist Salute Images"

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is facing calls to ban neo-fascist groups after images of hundreds of men giving fascist salutes at a rally in Rome went viral. The rally commemorated the deaths of three far-right activists in the 1970s, and the scenes have sparked condemnation from across the political spectrum. While some members of the ruling party have criticized the event, Meloni, who has a background in the far-right, has remained silent. Italy does not have a law prohibiting fascist imagery or gestures, and existing laws against apologizing for fascism are vague and rarely enforced.

Italy PM Meloni Assumes Full Responsibility for Bank Tax

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni takes "full responsibility" for the decision to impose a one-off bank tax, which has damaged her government's credibility with financial markets. Meloni defends the tax, stating that it was the right thing to do and had no punitive intent. The tax targets banks' profits from higher rates, but the government's muddled communication and backtracking on the tax have caused concern among international investors. Meloni also addresses a potential alliance with France's Marie Le Pen, stating that it is too early to discuss such moves.

Italy's Meloni defends controversial bank windfall tax raid

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni defended the decision to impose a windfall tax on profits at Italy's banks, which was later watered down following a market rout. The tax, targeting gains from banks' higher interest rates, will not exceed 0.1% of their total assets. While other European countries have introduced similar taxes, Italy's initial announcement caught the market off guard, damaging confidence. Meloni emphasized the importance of banks behaving correctly given the challenging economic circumstances. Analysts estimate the tax will have an aggregate impact of €1.9 billion ($2.1 billion). Italian bank shares rebounded following the announcement.
