Giorgia Meloni and her post-fascist party, the Brothers of Italy (Fratelli d’Italia), continue to lead the polls. The party leader is – probably for this reason – quite relaxed when it comes to attacking political opponents. The 45-year-old even compares himself to a Tibetan monk.
“Everything imaginable will happen in the coming weeks: I’m in the mode of a Tibetan monk, I don’t respond to provocations, now I don’t even read certain newspapers and certain news,” Meloni said on Wednesday evening. during an election campaign in the Abruzzo capital L’Aquila. “We are ready, now you have to show that you are ready. Because this game is not won yet. They will decide whether this country will be free.”
According to polls, your party could become the strongest party in the country with 24 percent of the vote in the snap elections on September 25. According to the polls, a neck-and-neck race is expected with the Democratic Party (Partito Democratico/PD), which could get 23 percent of the vote, according to the poll.
The right-wing Lega of ex-Interior Minister Matteo Salvini would get 13.4 percent, while Forza Italia of former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi would get eight percent. The centre-right alliance of Fratelli d’Italia, Lega and Forza Italia could thus gain a relative majority in the newly elected parliament.
The right-wing party alliance hopes to score points with the electorate with the promise of a flat tax, a standard tax for employees and the self-employed. According to the Lega, the tax rate should be 15 percent, according to Silvio Berlusconi’s Forza Italia 23 percent. Italians with an annual income of up to 70,000 euros should benefit from this.
The perennial issue of migration also provides political fuel in the election campaign. In view of the rising number of asylum seekers, right-wing parties warn that more than 100,000 migrants could reach Italy via the Mediterranean by the end of the year. Left-wing parties and human rights activists were outraged when Giorgia Meloni, the head of the polls who led the post-fascist Fratelli d’Italia, called for a naval blockade off the coasts of North Africa. Meloni also advocates the setting up of refugee camps in Africa and the early settlement of those who are not entitled to asylum.
