The Far-Right Is Expected to Win Italy's Election in Rome's Biggest Political Shift for Decades

The snap election follows the resignation of Prime Minister Mario Draghi in July, after he failed to unite a fractious political coalition behind his economic policies.An election win by Fratelli d'Italia could see the party's leader, Giorgia Meloni, become Italy's first female prime minister. She would also be the first far-right leader since Benito Mussolini's rise to power in Italy one hundred years ago.

The Fratelli d'Italia party was created in 2012, but has its roots in Italy's 20th century neo-fascist movement that emerged after the death of fascist leader Mussolini in 1945. Analysts say another reason for the party's popularity was its decision not to participate in Draghi's recent broad-based coalition. This distinguished Meloni"as an outsider within the political system and gaining more media visibility as the only opposition figure," Teneo risk consultancy's Co-President Wolfango Piccoli said in a recent note.

Fratelli d'Italia has been pro-NATO and pro-Ukraine and supports sanctions against Russia, unlike Lega which is ambivalent about those measures. "[The] first option is to keep our position in 'first division.' First division means Brussels and Germany, France, Spain, the big European countries, the founders, like us. {The] second option is to be relegated in the second division with Poland and Hungary, deciding to stay with them against Brussels, against Berlin, against Paris and Madrid," he said during the Ambrosetti economic forum in early September.

Smart people

Good. Radical change is long overdue. 🇮🇹

The Liberal Media calls everyone on the Right 'Far Right'.

They are not going to last long in power if they even get it

Everything is always far-right but nothing ever gets reported as far-left.
