Meloni's party passes by-election test against far-right rival
Original: Italy's Meloni passes by-election test against new far-right rival
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's party has cleared a by-election test, holding off a challenge from a new far-right rival. The result, reported by Reuters, is being read as confirmation of Meloni's grip on the right wing of Italian politics despite the emergence of a competing force courting her base. The vote offers an early measure of her coalition's standing.
Why now: The outcome is the first electoral test of Meloni against a new challenger on the far right, making it a barometer of Italian political alignments.
