The country is leaving the Draghi era behind and if the poll forecasts come true, it will usher in a new era dominated by the conservative parties, with the far right Giorgia Meloni at the helm.
Italy go to the polls this sunday renew parliament, in snap elections that will end technocrat Mario Draghi’s time as prime minister.
Almost 51 million Italians They are called to vote tomorrow on an election day that begins at 7am and ends at 11pm.
In these elections, 600 MPs (400 deputies and 200 senators) will be elected compared to the current 945 (630 and 315) following a reform approved in a referendum.
If the poll forecasts come true, right-wing parties get the most voteswith the far-right Giorgia Meloni at the helm.
Meloni leads the party of the Brothers of Italy and remains faithful to messages against immigration or in favor of the traditional family.
Matteo Salvinicleader of the far-right political party Liga, is the second major champion of the right-wing alliance and aims to get back into government, as he did in an earlier phase when he was interior minister and showed off his doctrine of “closed ports” for migrants trying to reach the Italian coasts.
The third party in this right-wing alliance is Berlusconiawho at the head of Forza Italia is apparently immune to scandals in recent years that have ranged from economic crimes to possible wrongs in their controversial parties.
The left front, on the other hand, consists of the parties Green Europe, Italian Left and Civic Engagement. Former Prime Minister Enrico Letta tried to unite left-wing forces around the Democratic Party (PD), but the initiative was not continued after no agreement was reached between the parties. The latter party is aiming for more than 20 percent of the vote, but having government options cannot be enough.
Behind are the 5-star movement (M5S)led by former Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte and who made it clear from the start that he would do it alone.
