Giorgia Meloni, the head of the far-right in Italy, was appointed prime minister on Friday, making history as the country’s first female prime minister.

Her victory marks a radical shift for the European Union (EU) and Italy, the third largest economy in the eurozone, just weeks after the far-right fared better than expected in elections in Sweden.

The 45-year-old attempted to reassure those concerned about her lack of experience and radical past during a period of skyrocketing prices, an impending energy crisis, and the war in Ukraine.
