Meloni accused of election shift to right after ’shameful’ cap on foreign children in classrooms

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has been accused of shifting her government to the right after passing a decree that caps the number of newly arrived migrant children in classrooms and bans the burqa and niqab in schools. Critics claim this move is an attempt to appeal to far-right voters ahead of next year's general election. This development could have implications for the Italian economy, particularly in terms of its relationships with European countries, as it may lead to increased tensions and potentially affect trade and immigration policies.
