THE NEW QUEEN OF EUROPE
Powerline ^ | 13 Dec 2024 | John Hinderaker

Posted on 12/15/2024 2:03:54 PM PST by Rummyfan

We have been fans of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni from the beginning. Now, even the liberals are starting to catch on. The London Times calls Meloni the “new Queen of Europe”:

[Home Secretary Yvette] Cooper’s presence will cement the growing view in diplomatic circles that Meloni has become one of the key figures in European politics and an influential voice on the right throughout the West.

*** When Meloni first came to power, in October 2022, she was seen as riding the populist wave sweeping the West and some wondered how long she would last in a country notorious for the fragility of its governments. Yet two years on, Meloni is one of the most secure leaders in the European Union — and one of the most influential. With Angela Merkel gone, some in the corridors of power see Meloni succeeding the former German chancellor as the new queen of European politics.

Roberto D’Alimonte, a politics professor at Luiss University in Rome, said: “She is the only prime minister of a major EU country who can expect to be there in three years — it’s a kind of stability Italy is not known for.” A senior official in the last Tory government put it more bluntly: “When she hosted the G7 meeting [in June], everyone else was a dead man walking.”

A lot of chemistry between her and mus- judging by the pics. But likely she’s too old to be a baby mama. So musk would have just been being nice

(Meloni is a Catholic and a conservative, and she believes in defending “God, fatherland, and family”. She is opposed to euthanasia, same-sex marriage, and same-sex parenting, saying that nuclear families are exclusively headed by male–female pairs. Her discourse includes criticism of globalism. Meloni supports a naval blockade to halt illegal immigration, and she has been accused of xenophobia and Islamophobia)

Liberal heads be exploding 🤯

She’s 5 years younger than Musk. But being the richest man on earth, I’m sure he gets those eyes from many women.

No, she is single as per Wikipedia.*

Had a child in 2016 with the journalist she was in a relationship with. They broke up as October 2023

*Fwiw.

I was looking at pics of her when young. She was moderately attractive but nothing special. Today at 47 she is outstanding, elegant and I would add much more attractive now. She has aged well, very well.

As an added plus. she is a conservative.

I think I could do embassy work in Rome or consulate work in Venice.

To be fair, Giorgia Meloni is 47. So she is younger than Kamala Harris.

And according to what I've heard, Harris is known for drinking 🍸. So that may take a toll on her looks.

A good reason to deny is if it isn’t the truth.

Apparently she called Elon one time when she had no class.

They're more likely to deny if there's something going on.

If there's nothing happening, they won't even waste their time to address the silly rumors.
