The author does not provide any evidence or facts to support these statements.

  • Bias (95%)
    The article does not demonstrate any clear bias towards a specific political or ideological position. However, there is a subtle anti-Italian bias in the author's description of Meloni's stance on migration as 'hard-line'. This term is often used pejoratively to imply an unwarranted harshness or intolerance. The author also mentions the controversy surrounding Meloni's stance on abortion, but does not provide any context or analysis of the issue beyond Macron's statement that he regrets the lack of reference to it in the summit's final document.
