Meloni heads Italy’s most rightwing government since the second world war. Italy’s criminal code punishes with a fine ranging from €1,000 to €5,000 anyone who “publicly defames the republic”, which includes the government, parliament, the courts and the army.

    From your article, “Yes to the natural family, no to the LGBT lobby, yes to sexual identity, no to gender ideology… no to Islamist violence, yes to secure borders, no to mass migration… no to big international finance… no to the bureaucrats of Brussels!”

    So Western European far right,so centrist or even left wing everywhere else.

    It also seems shes distanced herself from fascists.

          Try using duckduckgo and search “Ron Paxton definition of fascism”. Fascism is really hard to identify but he’s a great start.

      Anti LGBT, white supremacist, antisemitic. She also openly praised Mussolini when she was young and her party used fascist imagery. But when she had a vote of no confidence against her she said she’s not a fascist so it’s all good!
