Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, leader of the far-right Brothers of Italy party, is at a crossroads ahead of the upcoming European elections.

Meloni supports Ukraine over Russia, reassuring centrist allies with her pro-Ukraine and Israel policies.

The European elections between June 6-9 will test Meloni's ability to balance pragmatic international relations with her far-right domestic agenda on migration and cultural values.

As Europe invests in Italy's pandemic recovery, Meloni has adjusted her anti-EU stance.

Meloni may form alliances with key figures like Ursula von der Leyen.

The elections will reveal which side of Meloni will prevail and could shape the future direction of the EU Parliament.
