Meloni: Italy is no longer Europe's 'black sheep'

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni stated that Italy has restored its image in Europe and is no longer the 'black sheep'. The statement was made at a campaign rally in Bari, ahead of the regional elections.

Meloni emphasized that her government is the third longest-serving in Italy and that the Financial Times reported that Europe should take lessons from Italy.

She also reiterated her intention to serve her full five-year term and be judged by the citizens, even if the justice reform is not ratified in the referendum.
