Giorgia Meloni was born on January 15, 1977 in Rome. His father, Francesco Meloni, was a radio executive of Sardinian origin, and his mother, Anna (born Paratore), was of Sicilian origin; His mother later assumed the identity of a writer. Political views differed within the family; While his father was communist-oriented and supported the Italian Communist Party, his mother was more active in the cultural field.
When Meloni was just one year old, his father abandoned the family and moved to the Canary Islands, where he grew up with four half-siblings from a new marriage.
Meloni, who stepped into political activism in his youth, joined the Youth Front, the youth wing of the neo-fascist Italian Social Movement, in 1992. Three years later, he was appointed leader of Student Action, the student movement of this party's successor, the National Alliance, and served as a member of parliament in the Rome region between 1998 and 2002.
During the same period, he also rose to the presidency of the Youth Movement, the youth wing of the National Alliance. Meloni, who was appointed Minister of Youth in Berlusconi's fourth government in 2008, served in this position until 2011.
In 2012, he founded the Brothers of Italy (FdI) party, a successor to the National Alliance, and was elected leader of the party two years later. The party, which failed in the 2014 and 2016 elections, assumed the leadership of the opposition after the 2018 general elections. FdI, which was the only opposition party in the Draghi coalition government during the COVID-19 period, gained support in public surveys and won the 2022 elections, making Meloni the first female prime minister of Italy since October 2022. He has also been chairman of the European Conservatives and Reformists Party since 2020.
Meloni's political stance is described as right-wing populist and nationalist; He defines himself as a Christian and conservative leader and defends the motto "God, homeland and family". Meloni, who opposes euthanasia, gay marriage and LGBT parenting, states that the family structure should consist only of male-female couples.
Meloni, who supports the naval blockade in immigration policies, is criticized for anti-immigrant and Islamophobic rhetoric. While he remains committed to NATO, he maintains a critical attitude towards the EU, and during the Russia-Ukraine war he initially advocated better relations with Russia and then pledged arms aid to Ukraine.
In 2020, her praise of some figures from the Mussolini era created controversy, and in 2023, she was ranked fourth among the world's most powerful women by Forbes.
