Having exhumed the ghosts long believed to be buried within weeks, Italy is facing the trembling of the ballot boxes for its new rendezvous. This Thursday, the right-wing bloc is a abnormal election campaign Due to its short duration (in July, Mario Draghi’s resignation triggered the early elections), but above all it is dominated by the figure of leader Giorgia Meloni. brothers from Italy, intend to vote favorite. On the streets, it is evident that citizens have been disenchanted, many of them indifferently accepting the normalization of a post-fascist party, and fearing in the offices of power what this might mean for the country’s European and international future. .
In this climate, an enraged Meloni went to the People’s Square in Rome, the venue chosen for the event, and once again gave a speech in which he attacked the “mainstream” media, the “anti” European countries. “reducing energy prices” and pretty much everything else that’s been put forward. But first of all he attacked his political opponents. “The Italy of golf circles is over,” he said, referring to Italian progressives.
With no clue as to whether this ruse penetrated deep into the population, the far right defended its right to rule if it won the elections. “Who is afraid of us? Who are we afraid of?” she asked herself. “The Left says the markets are afraid, Europe is afraid. They are the ones who are afraid!” melon Reaffirming Italy’s place in the European and Atlantic bloc, he once again offered his most nationalistic and Eurosceptic rhetoric. will defend Italy’s national interests. He also reiterated that Rome’s politics, if he wins the election, will encourage a reform that will move Italy towards a presidential model in which the president has more powers than now.

His allies with him listened attentively. decreasing League leader Matteo Salvini and Forza Italia founder Silvio Berlusconi. With Meloni, both are closed ranks. Defending his alliance with Salvini and Meloni as the only solution to seize power, Berlusconi said, “We are here because we have a great future to realize together.” “This is a common and unified challenge. We will rule together for five years,” said Salvini.
Soon after, the Union leader advocated the construction of state-of-the-art nuclear power plants in Italy and warned Brussels that it would not accept the European Commission’s proposal to ban diesel and petrol vehicles. If this proposal goes ahead, “we will go to a referendum to ask the Italians if they agree with this nonsense,” he said. In fact, it was Salvini who made the toughest speech of the night, envisioning a political change in the United States that would weaken current US president Joe Biden, while also making charges against gender politics and rainbow families. “I prevented[immigrants]from landing. I hope to repeat it,” the politician concluded.
