An agreement brokered over the EU top jobs in the wake of last week’s informal summit without Italy’s involvement has triggered the ire of premier Georgia Meloni, who was considered to have earned the role of ‘kingmaker’ in the process after the positive performance of her Brothers of Italy party at the EU elections. The announcement of a preliminary deal brokered yesterday by representatives of the European People's Party (EPP), the socialists, and the liberals came as a bolt out of the blue for the Italian government which did not receive the news well. Meloni has openly contested the select...

Speaking to reporters shortly after their election, they sent a message to the largest group, the centre-right wing European People’s Party (EPP), offering their services to form a stable coalition for the coming legislative term.

These are open questions as the horse-trading for parliamentary groups heats up and as constitutive meetings begin this week in the wake of EU elections. Political groups are central to the European Parliament's functioning and operations and help facilitate the assembly's decision-making process. They are crucial for building majorities – from approving the European Commission president and the Commissioners to greenlighting importan...

In a bid to secure a major role for Italy in Brussels, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is about to go toe to toe and obtain a big portfolio at the European Commission.

After 185 million votes in 27 countries in the elections for the European Parliament, politicians across the bloc are taking stock. With far-right parties winning many seats, how can European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen manage the rocky road ahead? In 2019, pro-EU, liberal, green, and populist parties made substantial gains in the European elections. In 2024, the vote is more fragmented, with centrist and traditional parties suffering stunning and significant losses and many seats going to left-wing parties and right-wing populist parties. At the least, this means that von der Le...
