Election in Italy: Meloni's triumph over the alpha dogs
Quick Glance: The right-wing victory in Italy is expected to bring about rapid changes in migration.
  • While Meloni would be more bound by Europe in other areas, such as budget and foreign policy, E.U. members have lots of discretion to control their external borders, and she has long stated that stopping migration flows across the Mediterranean is one of her top goals.

  • Attempts to prevent humanitarian relief ships from arriving in Italian ports may result in legal action.

  • And if Meloni closes off routes to Italy, the amount of crossings to other Mediterranean countries such as Spain will very certainly grow, as happened three years ago when Italy was briefly run by an anti-immigrant, populist administration.

  • "Is it a wise strategy?"
