Leader of Brothers of Italy Giorgia Meloni waves at the party's election night headquarters, in Rome, Italy September 26, 2022. "It's a dream," Fabio Rampelli, a party founder, told Reuters as he hugged a tearful activist who whispered to him the single word, "finally!". She says the flame represents the evolution of the Italian right, while critics say it is a vestige of the old MSI who used the same symbol. Marco Marsilio, Brothers of Italy's president of the central Abruzzo region, said he had been waiting for this moment all his life. The Italian hard right has its historical strongholds in central and southern Italy, but some of its militants come from regions with a left-wing tradition.

Leader of Brothers of Italy Giorgia Meloni speaks at the party's election night headquarters, in Rome, Italy September 26, 2022. It is from tomorrow that we must prove our worth," the 45-year-old Meloni told cheering supporters of her nationalist Brothers of Italy party early Monday morning. The other major conservative party, Silvio Berlusconi's Forza Italia party, also scored around 8%, leaving Brothers of Italy the dominant partner. Despite its clearcut victory, the vote was not a ringing endorsement for the conservative alliance. The right took full advantage of Italy's electoral law, which benefits parties that forge pre-ballot pacts.

☆ Hungary PM Orban says EU sanctions on Russia have "backfired"

BUDAPEST, Sept 26 (Reuters) - Hungary should prepare for a prolonged war in neighbouring Ukraine, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Monday, sharply criticising European Union sanctions imposed on Russia which he said have "backfired", driving up energy prices. Orban, long at odds with the EU over some of his policies seen in Brussels as anti-democratic, urged a ceasefire to end the war and said the sanctions against Russia were dealing a blow to Europe's economy. "We can safely say that as a result of the sanctions, European people have become poorer, while Russia has not fallen to its knees," Orban said. "This weapon has backfired, with the sanctions Europe has shot itself in the foot." Orban, whose government is in talks with the European Commission to secure billions of euros in EU funds blocked over rule-of-law concerns, said his government would launch a "national consultation" asking Hungarians about sanctions.
☆ Asked about Italy, ECB's Lagarde says she won't fix 'policy errors'

FRANKFURT, Sept 26 (Reuters) - The European Central Bank won't use its latest emergency scheme to buy the bonds of countries that make "policy errors", its President Christine Lagarde said on Monday in response to a question about Italy's likely next government. A right-wing alliance led by Giorgia Meloni triumphed in Italy's general elections on Sunday, inheriting one of the euro zone's heaviest debt burdens at a time of rising borrowing costs and looming recession. "It's (used in) a situation where ... there are disorderly market dynamics that are not justified by fundamentals or by economic policy errors that will have been made," Lagarde said. "This limits the risk of fuelling inflationary pressures, thereby also facilitating the task of monetary policy." Lagarde also repeated the ECB's most recent message that interest rates will need to rise over the next several policy meetings even as growth slows substantially.

Here are some of the main potential sources of tension between Giorgia Meloni's Brothers of Italy (FdI), Matteo Salvini's League and Silvio Berlusconi's Forza Italia. The League leader has urged caution over sanctions while Berlusconi sparked outrage on Friday when he said Putin had invaded Ukraine to install a government of "decent people." Forza Italia, by contrast, has called for it to be increased, with a close Berlusconi aide saying it should be "doubled" for the poorest recipients. PERSONAL RIVALRIESRelations between Meloni and Salvini have often been strained as the fortunes of their parties have swung. If Salvini survives as party leader, he will have to find a way to counter Meloni's growing popularity, which is likely to cause friction.
