Giorgia Meloni faces a key electoral event that will measure the strength of the right-wing coalition in Italy. The elections in the Abruzzo region this Sunday could be a turning point for the left.

The region of Sardinia, where she had handpicked a candidate who did not have the support of her coalition partners (Forza Italia and Liga), passed into the hands of the left two weeks ago. A failure would further open the wound between her and her partner Matteo Salvini.
