Giorgia Meloni has not solely turn into Italy’s first feminine prime minister, but in addition the pinnacle of the country’s most right-wing government because the period of fascist chief Benito Mussolini.
Campaigning for “God, homeland and household”, Meloni is the primary prime minister to return from a political celebration with roots within the Italian neofascist motion. She has denounced the fascist past of the Brothers of Italy, a celebration which now manufacturers itself as a conservative populist motion with hardline stances towards LGBTQ rights and asylum seekers.
The political beneficial properties of Brothers of Italy and the 2 different events within the right-wing coalition – Matteo Salvini’s Lega celebration and Silvio Berlusconi’s Forza Italia – are one more occasion of far-right populism’s growing mainstream appeal in European politics.
