Summary/Abstract: Formed from the Centre-Right coalition, Italy’s incoming government led by Giorgia Meloni received a vote of confidence from the Italian Chamber of Deputies (25 October) and the Senate (26 October). Although Meloni emphasised in her exposé the unambiguously political nature of her cabinet, in contrast to the cross-party government of Mario Draghi, Italy's difficult financial situation will force a conciliatory policy towards the EU and a softening of her controversial agenda in domestic politics. The sustainability of the coalition is also uncertain, as put to the test by the ambitions of League leader Matteo Salvini and by Silvio Berlusconi's statements, troublesome for the country’s image.
