Italy’s election on September 25th is likely to result in a right-wing coalition government made up of Giorgia Meloni’s Brothers of Italy, Matteo Salvini’s League and Silvio Berlusconi’s Forza Italia. This right-wing alliance has a very large advantage in opinion polls, and its victory seems assured. Given that Brothers of Italy has become by far the largest party of the right, Italy’s next prime minister will probably be Meloni. Her popularity is partly due to her straight-talking style, which helps her connect with many voters. Brothers of Italy also benefits from having been in opposition for the past decade, unlike all other major parties, and therefore has not had to make unpopular choices.
Italy’s European and international partners are concerned about what a Meloni-led government might mean for Italy’s economy, for the sustainability of its debt (which stands at over 150 per cent of GDP) and for Italy’s relationship with the EU. Salvini and Meloni’s admiration for Putin also makes observers fret that a right-wing government might go soft on Russia. And, given Salvini’s populism and Meloni’s background in the neo-fascist Italian Social Movement, there are concerns that Italy could become a disruptive EU member like Poland or even Hungary.

She is not willing to kowtow to Brussels.
She may be a refreshing change.
She like all Italian politicians will do what Washington DC wants.
The woke media are desperate to tag her as neo-fascist but it doesn’t seem to resonate enough to ruin her chances from what I read. Buona fortuna to her!
Far-right means moderate from just two years ago.
She’s a modern fascist - god, country, family as she has proclaimed. It’s enough to make one ill. Really. You should see the woke crowd at CBS losing it.
MIGA?
It’s fascist to limit immigration, encourage native birth, and favor domestic production.
So the Pelosi family tells me.
“far right” is just political and media Newspeak for rational, common sense politics.
Anything remotely pro-nationalist is of course “Fascist “.
How about ITALX!? Europe has gone to crap since that great idea came to be.
That’s why they call her a neo fascist./sarc
That and the fact that she appears to be about the only major Italian politician not on the take.
Italians, like all Europeans, are first and foremost socialists. This means they want GOVERNMENT to take from OTHERS and give what they took to them.
Their “brother” socialists in America are the democrats.
So when a guy with the name Luigi Scazzieri writes about a “right wing” coalition, that’s roughly the same as in America when a democrat or alphabet news reporter refers to a parent who takes an interest in their child’s curriculum at school by attending a school board meeting as a “white supremacist”.
Yep
Next… She needs to put Nigel Farage on speed dial.
Somehow, their system works for them. Church and state are not always enemies there.
At least this was not so in the twentieth century.
A book about this, which I enjoyed was “The Little World of Don Camillo.”
