Italy's far-right Meloni tells Europe `fun is over'

Speaking at Milan's Piazza Duomo, the leader of the Brothers of Italy Giorgia Meloni, stated, "if I win, for Europe, the fun is over," and defended the principle of subsidiarity.

The leader of the Democratic Party (S&D), Enrico Letta's response was immediate: "It's a disturbing phrase [...] Should the centre-right govern, I fear it would be over for Italy."

Meloni (Brothers of Italy, ECR) is leading a right-wing coalition with Matteo Salvini's Lega (ID group in EU Parliament) and Silvio Berlusconi's Forza Italia (European People's Party).

Her coalition is leading all polls against Enrico Letta's left-wing coalition led by the Democratic Party.

Because we have had so much fun in Europe lately...
