In this episode, we sat down with Nicola Minnaja to unpack Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s new foreign policy initiative, the Mattei Plan. Designed to reshape Italy’s engagement with Africa, this ambitious strategy aims to strengthen energy ties, combat irregular migration, and establish Italy as a pivotal player in the Mediterranean. We explore how Meloni has gained support from key EU figures, like Ursula von der Leyen, and the challenges she faces, including geopolitical competition in Libya and across the region.
