Far-right Brothers of Italy's leader Giorgia Meloni votes at a polling station in Rome, Sept. 25, 2022. Italian voters rewarded Giorgia Meloni's euroskeptic party with neo-fascist roots, propelling the country toward what likely would be its first far-right-led government since Second World War, based on partial results Monday from the election for Parliament.
Meanwhile, former European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi, whose government collapsed two months ago, stays on in a caretaker role.She has solidly backed the supplying of Ukraine with arms to defend itself against Russia's invasion. In contrast, right-wing League leader Matteo Salvini, who before the war was a staunch admirer of Russian President Vladimir Putin, has voiced concern that Western sanctions could end up hurting Italy's economic interests more that punishing Russia's.
After opinion polls in the run-up to the vote indicated she would be headed to victory, Meloni started moderating her message of “God, homeland and family” in an apparent attempt to reassure the European Union and other international partners, worried about euro-skepticism. That compared to some 19.3 per cent by the closest challenger, the centre-left Democratic Party of former Premier Enrico Letta. Salvini’s League was projected to win 8.6 per cent of the ballots, roughly half of what he garnered in the last 2018 election. Berlusconi's Forza Italia party, appeared headed to win 8 per cent.
Nearly 64 per cent of eligible voters deserted the balloting, according to the Interior Ministry. That is far lower than the previous record for low turnout, 73 per cent in 2018.
Better get on the right side of the “news”
Legacy media is so far down the Trudeau ass kissing rabbit hole that they cannot see that the Libs have gone so far left that anyone else appears to be 'far right' to them. Hey CTV, ever think about this?
Coming soon here too! But it won't be extreme right we are Canadian.
Everything is ‘far-right’ to ctv.
Ultra far left news desperately clings on to government funding.
she is not far right...you are just far left with trudeau the guy that bails your failing media out with my hard earned tax $$. you cbc global gotta get out of the welfare line. if ppl don't watch you there's a reason ie you are way to far left loonie. start up a crowfund.
Far right is just becoming a new speak term for not a progressive communist totalitarian scumbag
It is so gratyfying to see the horror on left - leaning MSM websites.
If having family values makes people far-right these days then count me in.
Is she really 'far-right' or just conservative? It's hard to tell these days with all of the biased media narratives and the toxicity, intolerance and hate coming from the Liberal/left.
...when you stay home and not vote.
The Far-Left Woke politicians and MSM labels anyone that disagrees with them as racist Far-Right extremists and a danger to democracy.
we are all doomed.
They elected the first female leader.
CTV is a far-wrong party. Lying trash. This must be a good person speaking truth if they are trying to smear a female politician this hard
CTV fake news TrudeauDictatorship TrudeauDictatorship TrudeauworstPMever
The party isn’t far right. It’s centre-right. One of the coalition parties is. Get facts straight CTV
Great job Italy!!! First Sweden, then Italy and hopefully Canada and US next! People are waking up to how destructive woke leftists governments really are!
Another example of Mainstream media never really caring about women breaking glass ceilings… They’ve gotta be on the right side for that to be important.
It’s always a smear job when it comes to reporting on any right of centre government. Luckily many people are waking up to how the media works.
I guess people are sick of the boats of strangers stampeding the towns
Anything that does not mimic Justin Trudeau is “far right”. Non Trudeau thought must be made to be scary. It’s a commandment of the Church of Woke that it be reported this way else funding will be cut?
The guys cannot get the job done so the women have no choice to take over!
Common sense is the new 'far-right'?
So common sense is 'far-right'?
Good for them.
Please explain what you mean by 'far right'.
And this will keep happening. People are rejecting far left tax payer funded media/propaganda. Cry.
...and they'll be out in 18 months just like every Italian government.
Lol, far right. Countries are moving to more conservative gov’s because they are tired of leftist virtue signaling politicians who have spent their countries into massive debt.Let’s hope the trend continues to the USA and Canada.
Check your Privilege! Any attempt to budge from the Alt-Left is labeled to its extreme! Italy voted a Centre-Right MAJORITY Govt!
Define 'far-right.'
😂 far right? Is that what they call a party with pro choice pro freedom parties?
Far-right?
Left-wing govts in this country and others are falling like dominoes. Simultaneously much of the media and the angry progressives online label everyone with any conservative views as far right, facist, extremist & yet still have the arrogance to ask why ppl reject their ideology
Shots fired across the bow of the WEF and our NWO globalist cabal!
arla108533291 Even centrists are far right these days. CTV you are propaganda
World is waking up. Thank god
I believe you mean Italy has returned to Democracy! Socialism destroys countries.
If it’s not Marxist then it must be “far-right” 🙄
According to CTV anyone who isnt woke is far right.
Far right? Meloni is a self-professed neo-fascist.
'far right party' anything slightly right of Trudeau's radical leftist Marxism you consider far right. What a joke of an organization you are.
Anything not liberal is fascist in your opinion - you freaking commies. 😂😂😂. TrudeauMustGo
Please define “far right” and also moderate right and center. I suspect you can’t
Perfect!! The Europeans are sick of the left government and their ridiculous policies. Sweden and now Italy, which country is next? Trust von der Leyen is not happy 🤣
So if the world is shifting to the far right (Italy and Sweden so far) then I guess we should all seriously start looking at PPC…. That is Canada’s far right party.
Italians have absolutely no idea what they are in for if they vote for Meloni's right wing party. Look out Italy.
No Dominion Voting Machines in Italy?
To you, and the rest of the extreme far left globalist fan club, everything is 'far right'. Sanity is reasserting itself, and it can't happen soon enough IMHO!
CTV sh1ts sharply
Good
Leftist CTV seems to call everyone to the right of socialists the Far Right instead of examining what Meloni stands for. Sad reflection on Canadian MSM.
Please stop you lies... Enlighten us how this is 'fascist'? She's more a realistic moderate politician who againsts woke unicorn fantasyland.
still showing extreme bias. Some things never change…
Hypocritical much? You'd think you would be cheering for an empowered woman leader. BTW, TrudeauMustGo TrudeauMustGoNow
History shows that Italians will change their mindset half way through her term and join the other team ....
Is Jagmeet considered “far left extremist”? Why is that never next to his name in a title?
God bless Italy! 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
That’s a positive change
Finally! Some common sense after decades of hardcore far left Communist, Marxist GreenTarded socialist nutters running Italy into the ground
Anyone Who is against the WEF is the far right according to msm
Is she a MAGA-Italian? 😂 girlpower trudeaumustgo
Comparing her to Mussolini is complete lunacy.
“Far right” lol
happytrails493 Liberal fake feminism virtue out the window in 3…2…1…
What is exactly “far right “ only thing I see these days is way far left. Anyone else is vilified by the media as “far Right “ please explain your self
CTV uses a photo of her that makes her look slightly manic. Fake News doing what it does best
*Elected Official isn't a socialist* CTV:
Great news, congratulations to the people of Italy! 🥳🎉🎊🍾 Her platform is focussed on God, Family and Country. Of course CTV lunatics think that’s “far-right”. 🤡
Ultra MAGA “far-right” there CTVFakeNews ?
You guys call dvery party that doesn't fallow your narrative far right.
I see this as a huge win for Italy.
Anyone a step right of Woke is suddenly a “far right extremist”. This global smear campaign towards centrist or conservative governments/people is insane and I’m so, SO glad people are waking up and voting NO to the globalists who are taking marching orders from the WEF.
Mussomeloni
Sane does not mean “far right”. TrudeauMustGo
MahsaAmini
Go woke go broke
Wouldn't the minority be the 'far' party now? Center party (based on votes) conservatives win election should be the headline
Congrats Italy! They elected a conservative pm not far right. She is also the first female prime minister of Italy.
Italy has changed governments 69 times since 1945. This means nothing.
Justin Trudeau is a white man who wore blackface.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Far Right? Do a little more research before posting nonsense.
Better that than the far left currently running the place into the ground.
Please define 'far right'.🙄
Same here in canada. The left lets violent criminals out of jail early (despite a long history of crime) because recism, and then go on to hurt people. But the left claims that people like pierre are bad for the country. Not holding criminals responsible is bad for the country..
Where did the far right tag come from
Anything not far-left is now far right extremism.
Ever notice how every party against the left leaning party in every country is always labelled as far right to make them seem crazy. 1/2
GoWokeGoBroke people on the planet are sick of all the leftist BS. That's why we're seeing a rise in Conservative governments. Same thing is happening in Quebec with a newly elected Conservative government. We'll see a shift in the next Federal Election in Canada.
Anytime the right is elected notice how the left media always calls them far right. Italy elected a conservative PM.
'Far Right' BS LiberalCorruption
Whatever will Klaus and his pals do.
Imagine how insanely far from reality the EU has become that people have to vote like this.
Anything that questions the woke ideology is 'far right' to ctv
Yes, the one who praised Mussolini. Fascism revival.
Hopefully Canada follows. Libs are destroying our world.
Nice choice of photo. Not biased at all.
The entire world is sick of the virtue signalling Left, great to see!
It is not far right we are just plagued with far left woke punks in Canada.
No body care “far-right” you crowned them, there would definitely be less perverts like Trudeau.
It’s 1939 all over again
See what happens when media and governments go Woke Left insane ?
Congrats to Italy!
The pendulum has swung back after going so far left.
Far right? What makes it far right?
IDUHarper must be so proud. Another Corporate Authoritarian Government. Who knew NetWork was a documentary. Corporations only tolerate Democracy, it's counter intuitive & undermines profits. Especially with regulations & taxation CitizensUnitedCorpVoice
Canada is next then the US . People have had enough of liberal lunacy !
Forza Italia! Big win for Italy
Italy is moving from a shakeup of government to a government of insanity!
