Italy’s new Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, leader of the post-fascist Brothers of Italy party, said Tuesday she had “never felt sympathy or closeness to undemocratic regimes… including Fascism”.

Her government, the most far-right in Italy since World War II, would “not deflect an inch” from democratic values and “will fight any form of racism, anti-Semitism, political violence, discrimination,” Meloni said in her first address to parliament.
