Some observers have described Meloni's political positions as far right,[254][255] and have highlighted her campaign appearances with Rachele Mussolini.[256] In August 2018, Friedel Taube wrote in Deutsche Welle that "Giorgia Meloni has a long history in far-right politics".[257] In a July 2022 interview with Nicholas Farrell of The Spectator, Meloni rejected descriptions of her politics as far right, calling it a smear campaign by her opponents and cited British conservative philosopher Roger Scruton as one of her influences.[258] She has described herself as a mainstream conservative.[259][260] Additionally, Meloni has been described as hard right,[261] right-wing populist,[262][263] and nationalist.[264][265][266]
Meloni has been described as being close to Viktor Orbán, the prime minister of Hungary and leader of Fidesz,[267][268] and Rishi Sunak, the former British prime minister and Conservatives leader.[269][270] She has also been linked with the Vox political party in Spain,[271] representatives of the Law and Justice party in Poland,[272][273] and the Republican Party in the United States.[274][275][276] Meloni has self-described her political party, Brothers of Italy (FdI), as a mainstream conservative party.[277][95][278] She is in favour of presidentialism and supports changes to the Constitution of Italy.[1]
In June 2024, Meloni criticised the EU ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2035 that would "condemn [Europe] to new strategic dependencies, such as China's electric [vehicles]". According to Meloni: "Reducing polluting emissions is the path we want to follow, but with common sense."[279]
