The victory of the far-right Fratelli d’Italia party in Italy’s general election raises questions about the values on which Europe has sealed its union. Giorgia Meloni takes over as head of government, whose program is causing Brussels great concern. The future President of the Italian Council is ultra-conservative on social issues: with an anti-LGBT, pro-life, anti-migrant and national preference discourse.
“God, family, home”. The whole campaign was the slogan of Giorgia Meloni, leader of the Fratelli d’Italia party. The one on the verge of taking over the head of a far-right coalition government has never hidden her conservative positions, particularly by speaking out against abortion and LGBT rights.

“I say secularism, Europe and civil rights! »
Giorgia Meloni maintains a strongly pro-natalist policy in a country where terminating a pregnancy is already an obstacle course. “The right to abortion in Italy is a regional competence.

I say secularism, Europe and civil rights! “.
