Giorgia Meloni has risen from political obscurity to potentially become Italy's first far-right female leader. But her critics warn her ascension comes at a fragile time in Europe and evokes memories of Italy's fascist past.

In her memoir, I Am Giorgia, she wrote the party became her "second family".

The name was inspired by the opening lines of the national anthem, a symbolic display of the patriotism that has come to define her political rhetoric. Nearly a decade later, it is now her face that is emblazoned on posters on buses and streets across the country.The daring move that secured Meloni's run for powerThere is Italian media tycoon and former president Silvio Berlusconi's Forza Italia, Matteo Salvini's League and Meloni's Brothers of Italy.

While Forza and the League signed on to Draghi's government, Meloni held firm, and refused to join — arguing that Italians should decide their leader in an election."The Brothers of Italy were basically taking every opportunity to criticise government action and this was playing out electorally," says Vincenzo Glasso, a professor of economics at Bocconi University in Milan.

Let the Italian people decide.

mussolini in the end did something good ,hitler was mad,

What is it with Italian voters,they always seem to vote against themselves

Fascism has a higher failure rate than communism why do people keep trying to do it?

Meloni is the political creature of the Aspen Institute and Mario Draghi, will win for that, and the people will pay the penalty. The rest is folklore.

Like a majority of Italians I'm looking forward to a Meloni electoral victory. Enough of the unelected leftist neoliberal BS of the past 10 years. The EU can vafanculo. Dio Patria Famiglia

Italy ought to renege on its fiscal debts to the EU & exit from it completely if & when they interfere or attempt to manipulate their mandated policies after Meloni's electoral victory.🇮🇹

Long live Democracy, where the people vote.

Let's look at the evidence.

The Country with the most Non Lasting Governments on the planet so nothing is surprising 😮

Mussolini's roots are socialist.

Oh no 😢

Ah yes the customary fair and balanced framing of an abc article Why didn’t you go with “she is literal Hitler”? enemyofthepeople

Italian politics are a joke. Give her a whirl and the north will exit Italy.

She is easer on the eye compared to Mussolini & Trump.

You haven't been paying attention.

Let me guess. She's right wing so she's immediately has to be like Mussolini 😂😂

Molto brutto!

Yeh by Marxists

Italians like her And we love Italians She can't be that bad

You would think the Eyeties would be sick of Facists by now, ah well.

Here’s some of her ‘extreme’ views, views which have been held by most of humanity for thousands of years to our great benefit.

So she will be correct about the stock-market and future challengers. OK, got it.

So opposing gay marriage and illegal immigration makes you 'far right' to the ABC.

another EU exit...........?

Everyone is a Nazi or a facist apparently

She should be good.👍

All right of centre politicians around the world must be branded by the ABC and feared by us, no matter how irrelevant to Australia.

Is she indigenous or non-indigenous Italian?

She stands for family values. She doesn’t stand for the bastardized globalist agenda being quietly implemented all over the West. Don’t take this article as fact people. Watch her speeches. Look at her policies. She’s a lot better than Trump.

Russia is working west. Got Hungary with a wannabe dictator and now Italy is next. They thank god didnt win in Germany but came close. France too

Leaders like Trump only get in because of a rejection of left wing politics

Hail Giorgia 🫡

I don't think comparing someone to Trump is the burn you guys think it is
