Liz Truss also congratulates Meloni and points to Italy as an ally in her support for Ukraine

MADRID, 26 Sep. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The British Prime Minister, Liz Truss, on Monday congratulated the leader of the Italian far-right Brothers of Italy party, Giorgia Meloni, for her victory in the legislative elections last Sunday and recalled Italy's closeness to the United Kingdom in its support for Ukraine.

"Congratulations to Giorgia Meloni on her party's success in the Italian elections. The UK and Italy are close allies from our support of Ukraine to how we deal with global economic challenges," Truss said in a message posted on Twitter.

Criticism from the Italian political class of the sanctions imposed by the United States and its allies on Russia for the invasion of Ukraine and the pernicious consequences for the Italian population have generated some discomfort among Western capitals.

Meloni, leader of a party with neo-fascist roots, has after the elections a solid majority to govern thanks to the support of the far-right Liga party and the backing of the more traditional right embodied in Silvio Berlusconi's Fuerza Italia.
