Italy has voted - and a right-wing alliance can nominate the future head of government: Giorgia Meloni from the Fratelli d'Italia party, the brothers of Italy.
During the election campaign, she pursued an agenda of anger.
The alleged enemy: refugees, international financial elites, bureaucrats in Brussels.
Your allies: The Lega Nord around the right-wing populist and hardliner Matteo Salvini, who served as interior minister in a previous government, and the aged Silvio Berlusconi with his Forza Italia.
Why did the Italians allow themselves to be persuaded to vote for the demagogue and her radical right-wing friends?
What political goals is Giorgia Meloni pursuing?
That explains Italy correspondent Frank Hornig in the podcast.
We also speak to Brussels correspondent Markus Becker about the consequences of the Italian protest elections for the European Union.
