this time the 2 main issues were the difficult economical situation of the Countries (people getting payed too little, taxes too high, bills no longer sustainable -especially those connected to the gas and energy industry) and the war in Ukraine. But what really killed the "lefties" are all the restrictions and obligations about the pandemic. Most people don't forget and forgive the longer and stricter lockdown of the entire Continent, the tons of people who lost their job, the kids who got heavily depressed because of that lockdown and the schools basically working only from remote until last Summer (so, for almost 2 full years), the fact that vaccinations were mandatory and those who didn't want to use experimental (and at this point legitimately of doubtful success) vaccines were discriminated badly (they couldn't even go to work, those who still have one, without having continuous tests, which was a torture according to them). Add a few strictly "typical Italian" questions (all the polemics on immigrants and the safety of our cities) and our everlasting tendency to search for a new government opposite to the last that was in charge (because they always promise what they can't do...and it's the same this time, FdI and their acolytes just can't do even 10% of the things they'd like) and you have a vote like Sunday's. by the way, in my opinion (and I underline that's just my opinion) their absolute red flags are on their view of the civil rights...surely there will be a strong constriction of those, especially for the LGBTQ+ community, on abortion and on the laws protecting working people in terms of paychecks, safety on the job, arbitrary/unfair dismissals getting a lot easier and things like that). meanwhile I don't think they would dare to go against EU for what concerns the main foreign politics (war, relationships with the same EU and NATO and things like that), which is also a big concern for those who didn't vote for the new majority.

disastro completato... Giulia Grassia crolla letteralmente nell'ultima serie con un inguardabile 20/25 ed esce miseramente di scena pure lei. Forse è giunta l'ora di cambiare il "manico" e rimuovere CT (con le sue convocazioni assurde) e coach personali di atleti di provata qualità che sembrano aver completamente smarrito le qualità che li hanno contraddistinti in passato.

se possibile, situazione degli azzurri ai mondiali di Tiro a Volo ancora peggiore dopo la seconda giornata... solo un miracolo potrà vedere Giulia Grassia tra le prime 8 al termine delle qualificazioni del Trap M + F, mentre gli altri sono tutti miseramente fuori dai giochi. come siamo caduti in basso...che tristezza!

actually she has a diploma in foreign languages (with maximum votes, for what that counts -nothing, of course) and she's a professional journalist (even if she has never worked as a journalist, she's into politics since she was a teenager)

from worse to worst for Italy... Alessia Iezzi blew her competition with a 3rd and 4th shameful rounds, so now we're down to 1 small chance of winning a medal and get a quota place between both the men and the women's events...

ah, that double in Almaty... the same in speedskating... why has ISU decided for this anti-climatic stuff? (don't tell me...money!)

because of her history, because of what she's always said and because her party is the direct descendant of the original Fascist Party created by Mussolini (whose niece is one of the members of the current FdI), despite the many changes of name* they had after WWII (since then, the Fascist party was dissolved and its rebuild with that specific name is still illegal in Italy). *nostalgic fans of Mussolini first created a party named Movimento Sociale Italiano (Dec 26th, 1946), which was basically the reborn Partito Fascista under a new name, despite they always denied any direct connection with it and its racist politics (they sold themselves just as a conservative political formation). Then, in 1995, they changed name in Alleanza Nazionale...but they were still the same people that until the day before called themselves MSI. Alleanza Nazionale finally closed down in 2009 (mainly because of internal fights and esconomical disputes, not because they decided that their ideas were wrong and out of time), but in 2012 the hardcore members of AN decided to build another party with the same target and ideology, named Fratelli d'Italia, which is still the name of the party. In any case, the people leading the current FdI are all coming from the days of the old post-fascist parties, their ideas are well known and clear...there's no chance of misunderstanding what they think and what they want.

it's difficult to say right now, mainly because Meloni's position about it is not so clear...she's never said anything explicit for or against the Italian support/contribution to the war... certainly Berlusconi will try everything he can to keep her at bay and make his own personal interests as always...but he doesn't have enough votes to be decisive for anything... imo Salvini is not going to count that much, actually he might (should) lose the Lega's leadership, because he's the main responsible for their electoral blow (they were the main party not more than 3 years ago, before the pandemic)... she and her accolites are going to be really dangerous for the individual rights, instead (abortion, LGBTQ+ community but not only...even working people rights might get restricted in favour of the entrepreneurs')... however, i think the main fight will be as usual on the internal issues on economics and funding management, which might lead to big troubles with the EU. personally, I expect things to go worse than before, but not as bad as many people predict...our President and our Constitution won't allow FdI and this government to make too many damages...our political system is well studied to make it impossible for anybody to really change the Country in the deep... p.s. moreover, I don't think this coalition is going to last the whole 5-year span they're suppose to...my bet is that in 2 years time we're gonna go to a new vote (which will change the government once again, as it always happens)...

no, the full name of the party is Fratelli d'Italia (like our National Anthem)... the new fascists is just to explain who they really are...legally the word "fascism" is prohibited in the name of any Italian activity (actually, the apology of fascism is still a crime here, but nobody cares anymore)...

Il mondiale di tiro a volo preannuncia un ennesimo disastro epocale del Trap maschile, con tutti e 3 gli azzurri ormai fuori dai giochi per le medaglie e le quote olimpiche dopo solo 50 piattelli su 125 delle qualificazioni, una prestazione così sconcertante come mai nella storia del tiro a volo italiano. idem per Jessica Rossi al femminile, fuori dalle top 30 e senza più speranze dopo solo 2 serie. qui per fortuna vanno molto meglio le altre 2 azzurre, Giulia Grassia e Alessia Iezzi, che sono tra le prime 8 del ranking e ancora perfettamente in gara per le posizioni sul podio e per la seconda carta olimpica italiana della disciplina (Silvana Stanco, qui assente, si è già assicurata la prima con il successo ai recenti europei).

esatto... a mia discolpa c'è solo il fatto che la partita non era ancora finita quando ho scritto il post, quindi non potevo citare questo ennesimo trionfo pallavolistico... a proposito, successo netto ma tutt'altro che entusiasmante delle azzurre nell'odierno match dei mondiali di volley contro Portorico.

Parliament Righties ca. 44% - 235 seats (FdI -the new fascists 26%, Lega something less than 9%, Forza Italia -Berlusconi 8%, others 1%) Lefties 26% - 80 seats (the main party, the Democrats are at 19%) 5-star Movement 15.5% - 51 seats Azione + Italia Vera (they call themselves the "center", but they're just a bunch of opportunists looking at their own personal interests) 7.7% - 21 seats Senate Righties 44% - 112 seats (FdI -the new fascists 26%, Lega about 9%, Forza Italia -Berlusconi 8%, others 1%) Lefties 26% - 39 seats (the main party, the Democrats are at 19%) 5-star Movement 15.5% - 28 seats Azione + Italia Vera 7.7% - 9 seats
