Now, Brothers of Italy, which Ms Meloni founded 10 years ago, could win around 25% and become the country's largest party. Ms Meloni, who as a young woman praised Mussolini, now repudiates the Fascist dictator and his anti-Semitic laws. Speaking to supporters in Rome piazza, she issued a rallying cry against global leftist forces that, she claimed, see family and national identity as enemies, and that want us to be"just codes".Then, in what has become a signature line, she added:"I'm Giorgia, I'm a woman, I'm a mother, I'm Italian, I'm Christian! You won't take that away from me!"
She has called for a naval blockade of Africa's Mediterranean coast to stop migrants from reaching Italy. "No to the violence of Islam, yes to safer borders. No to mass immigration, yes to work for our people. No to major international finance!"
