Premier Giorgia Meloni on Tuesday
hailed the centre right's victory in regional elections in
Molise which saw centre right Forza Italia (FI) member Francesco
Roberti get over 60% of the voote and succeed party colleague
Donato Toma as governor of the southern region.
Meloni said this was "another great success, achieved thanks to
the work of the united centre right, which confirms the solidity
of the government coalition".
The win followed recent local-election victories for the centre
right including taking the long-time leftwing fief of Ancona in
Marche for the first time.
