Giorgia Meloni, candidate of the far-right Fratelli d'Italia party is in good position to win the legislative elections taking place on Sunday in Italy.
The coalition of which she is a part, with Silvio Berlusconi (Forza Italia) and Matteo Salvini (League), is credited with more than 40% of the voting intentions, according to the latest polls.
In Rome's Tiburtino district, where the University of La Sapienza is located, Italian students we met expressed their fears about a possible victory for the party of this 45-year-old Roman, which would eventually allow her to become the Italy's first female head of government.
“Italy is already a conservative country... If these ideas gain ground politically, it won't work.
I hope Meloni doesn't win," says Camilla, 19,
who began his studies at the University of La Sapienza.
Like her, they are several to testify to their concern.
This is also the case of Alessandro, 20, who fears the advent of a harsher policy against migrants: "These are poor people who hope to find a better life in Italy, and who very often do that the Italians no longer want to do…”, warns the young man, who says he is ready to go and demonstrate if Meloni takes the head of the Council of Ministers.
For Andrea, a 25-year-old doctoral student, it is above all the economic and social proposals that worry her: "I do not have the impression that this right-wing coalition intends to fight against all types of inequalities", explains he.

In front of the University gates, Giacomo, 21, smiles ear to ear: "I have a good feeling for Sunday," explains the Fratelli d'Italia activist.
"Fratelli d'Italia and Meloni are close to the problems of the citizens", maintains the young man.
To the criticisms addressed to his candidate for being at the head of a post-fascist party, the young man replied: “Fascism died in 1946. What worries me more is the communist danger.

Italy: Giorgia Meloni, the ex-admirer of Mussolini in the conquest of power
To gain respectability, Giorgia Meloni has begun work to demonize her party.
“She never says she's post-fascist,” Italian journalist Francesco Maselli told us in an interview.
According to the correspondent for the newspaper l'Opinion, the Roman sees herself rather "as a conservative".
“Today, she is at 25% of the voting intentions, she is no longer talking about leaving the euro.
She is unambiguous with Russia, and she has avoided doing the family portrait with all far-right parties in Europe.”
But Giorgia Meloni's program remains that of a far-right candidate, tempers the transalpine journalist.
His priorities?
Close the borders to protect Italy from "Islamization" and immigration as well as to renegotiate the European treaties so that Rome regains control of its destiny.
The coalition for the legislative elections, of which Giorgia Meloni is a part, is credited with 46% of the voting intentions.
But the post of President of the Council is not acquired for her: she will also have to overcome the pride of her two allies, Silvio Berlusconi (Forza Italia) and Matteo Salvini (League).
