Italy is bracing for a political earthquake as the most right-wing Government seen since World War Two is expected to be handed power following tomorrow’s election.

The potential emergence of a far-right government in Italy has put the European Union on alert for disruptions - with fears that the unity of the war in Ukraine could be jeopardised.

The leader of the post-fascist Brothers of Italy Party, Giorgia Meloni, is slated to be a big winner in Sunday’s election, becoming Italy’s first female Prime Minister.

Yes to the natural family, no to the LGBT lobby, yes to sexual identity, no to gender ideology... no to Islamist violence, yes to secure borders, no to massive migration

Giorgia Meloni - Speech in Spain, June 2022

I like this lady - Bannon says she is the Italian Margaret Thacher - I agree

Just speculation, but I can foresee a split if not outright dissolving of the EU (and possibly NATO) in the not so distant future if they keep it up. The coming of General Winter is, imho, definitely going to turn the ‘heat’(i.e.: exacerbate) up. We shall see.

“There is no possible mediation. Yes to the natural family. No to the LGBT lobbies. No to the violence of Islam, yes to safer borders, no to mass immigration, yes to work for our people, and no to major international finance,” said Meloni at a campaign event."

👏🏼

“Italy braces for political earthquake on eve of elections expected to hand the country the most right-wing government since World War Two”

The EU leadership has been VERY CLEAR about this: If Italy will not vote CORRECTLY, they will no longer be considered a democracy and they will be punished by the EU.

“She’s probably going to get the same treatment from the leftists in Italy as President Trump constantly gets from the Democrats/RINOs in the U.S. Sad.”

You’re exactly right. Signora Meloni is hardly Mussolini II or Hitler II, but the left-leaning establishment in her country and in Europe in general will treat her as such.
In reality, she’ll be leading a center-right coalition with an agenda roughly analogous to “MIGA.” I’m praying for her success. A bonus will be that her success will irritate the heck out of Pope Francis who never met a conservative he didn’t hate nor a leftist he didn’t love.

How long has the EU/Brussels been running Italy now? A decade or more?

I’ll believe it when I see it.

Oh look.

The hill finally read a book and learned Hitler wasn’t the fascist it was in fact Mussolini.

Then flops right back into abject ignorance with the false far rightwing falesy.

Not surprised.

BTW, Italians never forgot fascism is of the leftist Marx variety.

Fascism is far left-wing. That is what Italy was under in World War 2.

Yes, indeed. Among the changes Mussolini made was to outlaw the use of words that signified some people were worthy of higher status than other people. He preached "equality." At first, he resisted antisemitism. Later, he adopted the Nazi viewpoint, which seems to be where the Left always ends up because, in their quest for "equality," they think of people in terms of "groups" (Proletariat and Bourgeoisie, Aryans and Jews, etc.).

Ursula Van DerCrazy has warned that the EU has “tools” to punish countries if they do not vote the right way in their “democracy”. What a joke.

Benito Mussolini started out as a Communist, before founding a movement HE could be in charge of, instead of being a puppet of Lenin.
