The shapeshifter: who is the real Giorgia Meloni?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : The head of a party traditionally hostile to the European Union, Meloni instead has worked closely with the European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, and made necessary concessions to obtain EU funding for her domestic agenda.
49% : The government has given tax breaks and subsidies to businesses and startups, to families with children, to working women and to businesses hiring younger and/or female workers.
45% : Her top advisers - some of whom I interviewed at length - are intelligent and thoughtful people, very conservative politically, but far less extreme than the people around Trump, for example.
30% : Since these leaders, whether Trump or Meloni, are unlikely to challenge the economic status quo, what they mainly offer is a defence of traditional forms of identity.
