Rome, Italy – Italy is set to vote on September 25 in a national election that will likely see its most far-right government in power since World War II, led by the country’s first female prime minister ever.
Giorgia Meloni’s Fratelli d’Italia (Brothers of Italy), a party with a post-fascist origin, is witnessing a meteoric rise – from 4 percent voter support in 2018 to a projected 25 percent this year – after political infighting led to the downfall of Prime Minister Mario Draghi’s national unity government.
