Italy’s rightist coalition has struck a deal on which party will put forward the next prime minister, a decision which favors Giorgia Meloni, leader of the far-right Brothers of Italy party.
“Who gets more votes will indicate the premier, it will be Italians who decide,” Matteo Salvini, leader of the League, said on Canale 5’s TG5 program, after a meeting with Silvio Berlusconi of Forza Italia and Meloni.
