Rome| Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s far-right party won European elections in Italy, boosting her leadership at home and consolidating her kingmaker role in Europe.
With 96 per cent of the ballots counted, her Brothers of Italy won 28.8 per cent of the vote, more than four times what it took in the last EU election in 2019 and exceeding the 26 per cent it secured in the 2022 national ballot when it rose to power.
