Italy: the right-wing coalition leads the voting intentions in the legislative elections

2022-08-11T07:02:35.274Z


The conservative Fratelli d'Italia formation, led by Giorgia Meloni, has overtaken the centre-left Democratic Party in the polls.


All the ingredients for a return to power of the Italian right are there.

In the municipal elections last June, the local coalitions formed between its three components - Fratelli d'Italia, the League and Forza Italia - had already registered a strong push.

Six weeks before the early legislative elections, the polls announce a large victory for the right-wing coalition, credited with 45 to 46% of voting intentions in the surveys.

With such a result, the right could obtain a comfortable majority of seats in the Chamber of Deputies (more than 60%) according to the Italian mixed voting system.

In detail, it is Giorgia Meloni's party, Fratelli d'Italia (FDI), which could come in first position with 23 to 24% of the vote, ahead of the centre-left Democratic Party.

Matteo Salvini's League could collect almost 14% of the vote and Forza Italia of the indefatigable Berlusconi around 9%.

The Italian government could therefore be led for the first time by a woman because, according to the terms of the coalition of right-wing parties, the first of the allied formations will obtain the post of President of the Council of Ministers.

The vibrant leader Giorgia Meloni of the conservative Fratelli d'Italia party is therefore the favorite to become the next head of government at the age of 45.

During the 2018 legislative elections, FDI only slightly exceeded the 4% vote mark.

"I am Christian"

In ten years, she has managed to bring together in her name the discontent and aspirations of Italians at the end of their disappointed hopes, exceeded by the "

diktat

" of Brussels, the high cost of living, the obstructed future of their children.

It now embodies a certain degagism, having refused to participate in previous coalition governments, unlike other protesting and anti-system parties such as the 5 Star Movement or the League.

Its motto?

God, fatherland, family

”.

His priorities?

Close the borders to protect Italy from the steeples of "

Islamization

", renegotiate the European treaties so that Rome regains control of its destiny, fight against the "

LGBT lobbies

" and the "

demographic winter

" of the average country age in the industrialized world after Japan by encouraging the birth rate - while reducing naturalisations.

I am Giorgia, I am a woman, I am a mother, I am Italian, I am a Christian

”, she launched to her supporters in 2019 in Rome during a fervent speech that became famous.
