Giorgia Meloni, the 'assimilated' extremist of Europe!
Giorgia Meloni and Marine Le Pen

Trained from a young age in post-fascism and a leader of the Brotherhood of Italy, she has quietly advanced her ultraconservative agenda...

Since coming to power three years ago, post-fascist Giorgia Meloni has toned down her ideological radicalism and embraced a softer, more pragmatic approach, though she has not weakened her ultraconservative agenda at home. With this stance, she has consolidated her power and carved out a place for herself in Europe, where she quickly found the cooperation of Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who even held her up as a model for addressing immigration.

Two other factors have made her indispensable in continental geopolitics: her commitment to supporting Zelensky’s Ukraine against Putin’s Russia and her rapport with US President Donald Trump, who saw her as his best ideological ally in Europe. Meloni has thus become indispensable and has managed to normalize, both domestically in Italy and abroad on the international political stage, the rise of a far-right party to power. This has also helped to end the endemic domestic political instability in Italy.

-Despite her softer and more pragmatic ways, Meloni has not weakened her ultraconservative agenda.

If in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Berlusconi paved the way for the entry into politics of super-rich businessmen with media dominance, a model that, if it had evolved, would have ultimately led Trump himself to the US presidency, today Meloni is an example in Western Europe of the rise to power of the post-religious far right. It is closely watched as a point of reference by groups from France (Le Pen) to Spain (Vox, but also PP), as well as by extremist parties in the Nordic countries and Germany itself. Because unlike Hungary's Viktor Orbán, who was very close to Putin, Meloni has managed to position himself unequivocally on the Atlanticist side. In Spain, in fact, Meloni is being challenged by the PP, Feijóo has said that "he is not comparable to other far right parties".

But how is Meloni governing Italy after three years?

Trained from a young age in post-fascism and a leader of the Brotherhood of Italy, she has quietly advanced her ultraconservative agenda: she has not allowed children of same-sex couples to be registered in the Civil Registry and has allowed anti-abortion associations to enter public family clinics. She has also not hesitated to launch stigmatizing speeches about poverty. She has insisted on an identitarian and xenophobic narrative against immigration, embracing the Great Replacement conspiracy theory and restricting the work of NGOs that rescue people on boats at sea.

Regarding historical memory, it has sought, with a sweetened conciliatory narrative, a false equidistance between fascism and anti-fascism. And regarding the institutional architecture, it is currently pursuing a law to limit the autonomy of the judiciary and aims to introduce, so far without success, a constitutional reform that would allow a change in the electoral law to reward the representation of the winning party and strengthen presidentialism. Therefore, Meloni, normalized in Europe, resolutely follows a polarizing and regressive path with regard to rights and freedoms. /Adapted from “Pamphlet” by “ Ara

  1. Është koha e injorantëve apo hajdutëve?

    Sipas statistikave, rreth 17% e italianëve që mbarojnë gjimnazin ndjekin studimet e larta në universitet. Tani Italia ka rreth 60 milion banorë. Si ka mundësi atëherë që zgjidhet për kryeministre G.Meloni që ka mbaruar vetëm liceun e gjuhëve të huaja, pra është pa shkollë të lartë? Dakord ne kishim xhaxhin Enver me këtë lloj CV. Por mqs do integrohemi në BE menduam se BE do kishte standarte më të larta! Kështu që s'duhet të qahemi pse Rama ka 12 vite kryeministër me një diplomë të rëndomtë mësues vizatimi. Të paktën Rama është me shkollë të lartë. I vetmi problem që ka, është pse i gjunjëzohet Melonit? Nga servilizmi dhe frika? Apo e ka psikozë nga koha e Enverit, ku injorantët bëheshin drejtora dhe intelektualët vartës të tyre?
