Meloni's popularity is expected to ensure significant gains for her far-right Brothers of Italy Party in June 2024's European Parliamentary elections, and European Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen, who has exhibited a liking for Meloni, has already floated the notion of bringing her into a coalition if needed.(AP Photo/Gregorio Borgia, File)
