dec 16, 2023 - Sunak Attends Right-Wing Rally in Italy

Description:

One cut her political teeth on the streets of Rome as a teenage neo-fascist activist, rising to become Italy’s first female premier. The other is a former investment banker who became Britain’s wealthiest prime minister, and its first of colour.

Yet whatever their very different backgrounds, the ties between Giorgia Meloni and Rishi Sunak are likely to grow even closer on Saturday when he attends a rightwing political festival in Rome organised by her hardline Brothers of Italy party.

Sunak and Meloni have bonded over a shared hardline approach towards immigration through policies that have sometimes pushed the limits of what is legal.
