After weeks of silence from Fratelli d'Italia (FdI) over an investigation that revealed members of the party's youth group praising Mussolini and far-right terrorists during their meetings, Senate President Ignazio La Russa condemned their actions while Giorgia Meloni has yet to comment.
Any europeans wanna take mercy on us drunk americans who really need to be distracted from the debate and give us some background here? Pretty please?
Oh the usual: Youth orgs of parties being a little more radical than their parent parties. Fratelli is a right-wing, self described “post-Fascist” party that, when behind closed doors, is celebrating Mussolini. Interior politics have included taking away adoption rights from LGBTQ parents,rolling back trans rights, and re-organizing state broadcasters.
Unfortunately, since Meloni is pro-Ukrainian and apparently charming, a lot of conservatives all over Europe (and in fact Biden too) have acted is if everything is A-OK.
That was far less stress relieving than I hoped it would be so I’m gonna go back to drinking, but sincerely thank you for the info
I think Biden is just the public face that somewhat manages to not say certain things aloud, in public.
the eu is dying too, you are in good conpany. Italy is busy resurrecting mussolini atm.
