Giorgia Meloni is uninterested in Le Pen's call for a wider alliance.Although there has been no explicit refusal, both Meloni and Le Pen have avoided meeting and calling each other to discuss the latter's proposal.
This aversion between Meloni and Le Pen has gone so far that, the Italian leader
avoided participating at the conservative convention organised by VOX in Madrid, as to not be seen near the French politician.
Since then, Meloni
received in Rome Le Pen's rival, Marion Marechal, a member of Eric Zemmour's Reconquête, a party that is a member of the ECR already.
These developments speak for themselves: Meloni is uninterested in forming an alliance with Le Pen's National Rally particularly because an alliance with RN would mean
losing the goodwill of the current president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, who is allegedly, considering allying with the ECR in the future if politically feasible.
For von der Leyen and the EPP, National Rally is
unapproachable due to the allegations of Russian financing, perceived threats on the rule of law and a general feeling of euroscepticism.
📝: Now Le Pen is truly without allies in the European Parliament because she believed she can make a compromise.
