The Fratelli d’Italia candidate for the European elections and the Italian president, Georgia Melonihas tried to publicly distance himself from fascism since he came close to power, but his actions say otherwise.

Although in 2022, the Italian president will assure that “the Italian right has relegated fascism to history for decades” and that they “strongly oppose any antidemocratic drift”, the truth is that her party, Brothers of Italy, It carries that DNA even in the logo. It has the tricolor flame in a white circle, inherited from the declaredly “post-fascist” ‘Movimento Sociale Italiano’, in whose youth the young Meloni was active, who complimented the dictator Mussolini. “Mussolini was a good politician. Everything he did, he did for Italy,” Meloni commented at the time.

His Government actions fall on the same side. Meloni is making it more difficult for her compatriots and peers who need an abortion: will allow anti-abortionists to enter clinics and they want to force them to listen to the heartbeat of the fetus. He has the public media on strike for flagrant attempts to curtail press freedom.

And although Meloni has sometimes let himself be played by the LGTBI band, he also has prohibited homosexual families from registering their children as a couple.

“Yes to the natural family, no to the LGBT lobby. Yes to sexual identity, no to gender ideology. No to Islamist violence, yes to secure borders!” Meloni has commented on different occasions.
