Italy election: Meloni says center-right bloc has 'clear' mandate
Deutsche Welle ^

Posted on 09/25/2022 8:21:01 PM PDT by FarCenter

The center-right coalition led by nationalist Giorgia Meloni secured a parliamentary majority in Italy's general elections on Sunday,according to exit polls.

Speaking early Monday, Meloni said Italians had sent "a clear message" in backing her alliance.

"If we are called upon to govern this nation, we will do so for all Italians, with the aim of uniting the people, of exalting what unites them rather than what divides them," she told reporters. "We will not betray your trust."

Her remarks came shortly after the main center-left group, the Democratic Party, conceded defeat.

"This is a sad evening for the country," Debora Serracchiani, a senior PD lawmaker, told reporters in the party's first official comment on the result. "[The right] has the majority in parliament, but not in the country," Serracchiani said.

What did exit polls indicate?

Polls closed at 11 p.m. local time (2100 GMT) on Sunday. Exit polls had shown the alliance led by Meloni's Brothers of Italy party securing around 45% of the vote. Meloni's own party had 26% of that by itself, as the strongest single group in the polls.

The center-left alliance, led by the Democratic Party, was the second-strongest bloc, with 29%.

The populist 5 Star Movement grabbed 16.5%, following reports of a last-minute surge in support after a polling moratorium had been imposed.

On You Tube, CNBC International TV, Reuters, Bloomberg Markets & Finance, France 24 English and others all said “far right” in the video title when using her picture.

Now, we need to keep an eye out for the dirty tricks. I assume the EU will do all they can to tank the Italian economy, and blame it on her party. Along with anything else they can do.

“ The Fourth Reich disapproves...”
**********************************
Of course they’ll disapprove when a (Italians First) patriotic woman wins. Just like they’ll disapprove when an Americans/Arizonans First Patriot like Kari Lake wins in Arizona.

Georgia Meloni is an Italian version of our Kari Lake. They both are going to very successfully govern once they take office. And there’s more women like this coming.

Variety has a different take -

Giorgia Meloni Poised to Win Italy’s Election, Becoming Most Far-Right Prime Minister Since Benito Mussolini

Giorgia Meloni is poised to become the next prime minister of Italy. With her victory will come the country’s most far-right government since Benito Mussolini and the National Fascist Party ruled during World War II.
