Italian voters have spoken: enough of globalist chaos; environmental lunacy creating a bad economy built on an unrealistic green agenda; open-door, unvetted immigration; rigid Covid mandates; and diminishing personal freedom. Giorgia Meloni’s Brothers of Italy coalition party has captured a sweeping majority in Italy. It’s being widely smeared as the most right-wing government since Mussolini. Other coalition members include Matteo Salvini’s League, noted for its opposition to an open-door immigration policy, and Silvio Berlusconi’s Forza Italia.
Here’s what Italy can immediately expect, based on the stated policies of the incoming government:
A review of rules on public spending and economic governance. Meloni has stated that her focus will be on “investments to boost Italy’s chronically weak economic growth but pledged responsibility in managing its debt-laden public accounts.” And as a fiscal conservative, she added: “I am very cautious.” She has also criticized the EU for its lack of foresight in pursuit of a green economy at any cost, accusing the EU of failing “to craft policies that would ensure available, affordable energy supplies. Sky-high energy prices, she declares, “have forced businesses and families down to their knees.”
The Brothers of Italy party is being attacked as far-right, “anti democratic” and a threat to personal freedoms, but the truth is that globalist governments have themselves proven to be the worst threats to democracy and personal freedom, while accusing the Right of everything they do. It is globalists today who are the exponents of the socialist ideology and who are willing to use violence to cancel our freedoms (especially the freedom of expression) and drive capitalist economies into the ground.
The Leftist Atlantic, in an article titled The Return of Fascism in Italy, asserted….
Meloni would also represent continuity with Italy’s darkest episode: the interwar dictatorship of Benito Mussolini.
Ridiculous. Just as Hitler was socialist (the Nazi party was the National Socialist German Workers’ Party) yet is frequently referenced as “right wing,” Mussolini was also a socialist, called “right wing” when both were violent socialist Leftists.
Meloni refused to join Mario Draghi’s national unity government in February 2021, opposing his “tough coronavirus measures, notably the so-called Green Pass requiring workers to be vaccinated.” Meloni is also tough on open-door migration. Italy has been overwhelmed by North African Muslims illegally swarming in, and Draghi was lukewarm on the issue. AFP stated that Meloni’s party’s “anti-immigration positions and the protection of Italy from ‘Islamization,’” and also quoted Meloni as saying: “there is no room for nostalgic attitudes of fascism, for hypotheses of racism and anti-Semitism.”
The Associated Press describes Meloni as having a message that blends Christianity, motherhood and patriotism, while the Qatar-owned Al-Jazeera says that her party “calls for the defence and promotion of Europe’s “Judeo-Christian” and classical roots.” Meloni has also been criticized by the Left for being anti-abortion.
A government that supports Judeo-Christian principles, rejects unvetted illegal migration and rigid COVID mandates, and is Eurosceptic sounds like a government on the right track. No wonder the Left is going heavy on the “far-right” and “fascist” smears.
Globalist EU leaders are now worried about a shift in the EU’s balance of power, as they should be, and about a Meloni alliance with Hungary. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has already congratulated Meloni on a “well deserved” victory.

Anyone condemn by the EU and the MSM in America cannot be all bad in my book. Fascism is total control of the government in all things people do in their everyday lives anyone who disagrees with that is crushed in fascism ,progressives in my book are the most truly fascist people in western society.

“And so, they attack national identity, they attack religious identity, they attack gender identity, they attack family identity. I can’t define myself as: Italian, Christian, woman, mother. No. I must be citizen x, gender x, parent 1, parent 2. I must be a number. Because when I am only a number, when I no longer have an identity or roots, then I will be the perfect slave at the mercy of financial speculators. The perfect consumer…[But] we will defend it.
“We will defend God, country, and family. Those things that disgust people so much. We will do it to defend our freedom. Because we will never be slaves and simple consumers at the mercy of financial speculators.”
“‘Swords will be drawn to prove that leaves are green in summer.’ That time has arrived. We are ready.”
Giorgia Meloni – Italy’s Newly Elected First Female Prime Minister

Thanks for that link, Milo.

I wouldn’t count on this being a long term shift. The Italian government has numerous parties that can only rule by forming alliances that then make up the largest minority alliance. Meloni will be leading an alliance that makes up less than 50% of both the Senate and House of Delegates.
Still, the mere fact that her campaign emphasized Christianity and still won reveals a lot of discontent with Muslim immigration and appeasement. It also demonstrates that many voters are unhappy with being forced to adopt someone else’s morality at the expense of being able to maintain a minimal standard of living. Further, the average Italian is likely growing tired of being lectured to and insulted instead of being provided rational explanations for adopting policies that contribute to this decline.
Raja says
EU is already fearing an Italexit and has threatened Italy’s prospective govt. The EU top dog cited the example of Poland and Hungary of how “tools” were used to browbeat them. Times are “exiting” for Italy-watchers !!!
Dave says
People who resort to name calling often reveal their ignorance when doing so. Every definition of fascist I could find refers to a philosophy or regime that suppresses all dissent through adopting dictatorial powers. By the time someone reaches high school they should be able to see how this doesn’t apply in this case. Most of the time these are cases of the pot calling the kettle black with the pot being left leaning people and organizations that support that very same thing, namely suppressing all dissent and assuming an absolutist position that’s inherently incompatible with freedom of the individual. And that is just another version of Marxism’a oppressed vs. oppressor narrative with the difference that the division is based on identity rather than class. This is clearly explained on an excellent YouTube channel:

Italy: Populist Brothers of Italy win sweeping majority, smeared by globalists as ‘fascist’
……………………………………………..
Grotesque–how is Giorgia Meloni’s being a fiscal conservative and wanting to protect Italians against violent criminal immigrants “fascist”?
But we knew there would be such smears. So glad to see that she has won.

Mark Steyn, a wonderful, brave, shooting from the hip guy, his drive to expose the sex abuse of British young ladies is brilliant, and he does the same re vaxing enforcement, a Freedom fighter of the best kind.
somehistory says
g, you may recall that I have been labeled fascist for being against the terror, murders, rapes etc. carried out by rabid mozlums., calling them by what they are…snakes.
A true fascist wants to use businesses to enforce government policy….like the present u.s. is using fb and the twit….and working on using Visa, MC and Amex for the gun control they seek.
Infidel says
This is a fantastic development. Hope that Senora Maloni can put together a coalition w/ Matteo Salvini and reverse the immigration woes of Italy. And if it requires showing the 🖕 to the EU president Frau Ursula von der Leyen, then hope she does it, and starts a procession out of the EU of maybe Italy, Poland, Hungary, Austria, Greece and others to follow!
John ..Smith says
I’m feeling positive about this result, is the tide on illegal immigration into Europe about to turn. With Salvini on board I believe it could.
Infidel says
I think that if the presidentship of the EU could go to someone from one of those dissenting countries – Hungary, Poland and now Sweden and Italy, who is opposed to Europe being open to muslims, then Europe could be saved. I doubt that Germany, which is struggling right now, would be in a position to force the EU to embrace its open borders policy
John ..Smith says
I agree Infidel if such countries as Hungary and Poland had a bit more authority in EU policies things would be a lot different. But these early signs are encouraging, and it appears some European countries are slowly but surely moving in the right direction.
Check Burry says
Just minutes ago on Brit TV we hear that any albanians who claim asylum will not be sent back, so another big open goal for the UK Gov. The Gov deffo do not run this country.
ntesdorf says
Mussolini was a Fascist which means that he was also a Socialist believing in collective government control of society. Leftists call ‘Fascist’, anyone who opposes their Leftist Fasism. Populist Brothers of Italy are Anti-Fascists.
tim gallagher says
Good for the Italian people for voting a reasonably conservative government into power. People may be waking up at last and becoming sick and tired of the invasion by Muslim barbarians, along with other issues, and finally saying enough is enough. And about bloody time.
mick says
Katja Adler (BBC) is one such dim hack, typically refering to Georgia as the most right wing Italian politician since Musso.
He wanted to build an empire in North Africa. She wants to defend her borders and her culture.
haroldpom says
Canada could use a leader like Giorgia Meloni. We need someone to stand up for Canadian values and culture. Our current prime minister doesn’t believe we have a culture and there are no values worth saving.
Check Burry says
I agree, she will be the 2nd Canadian female PM, after justine.
