FILE -- Brothers of Italy's far-right party Giorgia Meloni attends a media event for center-right leaders ahead of the March 4 general elections, in Rome, Thursday, March 1, 2018. Meloni, who is leading in opinion polls ahead of the Sept. 25 parliamentary elections, on Wednesday, Aug. 10, 2022, said in a message recorded in English, French and Spanish, and distributed by her campaign, that she won’t be a danger to democracy if she becomes premier, and also dismissed as “nonsense” concerns that if her Brothers of Italy party comes to power, making her Italy's first far-right premier, there would be a risk of “anti-democratic drift” or “an authoritarian turn", or that the country might exit the euro-currency membership group.
