Meloni distances herself from Vannacci's far-right alliance

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni rejects an alliance with far-right figure Roberto Vannacci, aiming for re-election in 2027. She emphasizes her desire to govern without coercion and maintains her coalition's current values. Meloni's comments come ahead of next year's elections, where Vannacci's new party, National Future, is gaining traction. Despite Meloni's popularity, analysts warn that her right-wing bloc may struggle to secure a majority without Vannacci's party, which currently polls at 7.5%. Meanwhile, the left-wing coalition is gaining ground, complicating Meloni's path to re-election.
