“Behind the scenes, Meloni, who is president of the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR), a group mostly made up of European hard-right parties, is expected to use the G7 to plot her next moves in Brussels. There is speculation that she will wait to see how successful far-right leader Marine Le Pen is in the snap French parliamentary election before deciding whether to support von der Leyen’s hope of a second term as president of the commission. In the past, Meloni has been offended by comparisons to Le Pen, but the pair have drawn closer more recently, with reports in the Italian press this week insinuating that they are hatching a plan to tilt the EU further to the right.”
