2022 Italian general election

The 2022 Italian general election, held on September 25, 2022, determined Italy’s Parliament to shape the new government. The election featured a contest primarily between a right-wing coalition led by Giorgia Meloni’s Brothers of Italy, alongside other parties like Lega and Forza Italia, and a more centrist and left-wing opposition. Meloni’s coalition won a clear majority in the Parliament, allowing her to become Italy’s first female Prime Minister. The election reflected public concerns over economic issues, migration, and national identity, resulting in a shift toward the right and a strong endorsement of the new government’s nationalist and conservative policies.
