Less than a year after his appointment as head of government following
the victory of the right/far right coalition in the Italianparliamentary elections of September 2022, a first assessment of theaction of the far right is revealed quite clearly. both overwhelming andinstructive. Contrary to the number of speeches on the "normalization"of the far right in power. ---- Following yet another parliamentarycrisis, Mario Draghi, President of the Council of Ministers, presentedhis resignation on July 21, prompting the holding of early parliamentaryelections to be held in September 2022.The so-called center-right coalition (coalizione di centro-destra), ledby the neofascist Giorgia Meloni, leader of the Fratelli d'Italia party,topped the vote with more than 43% of the vote, far ahead of the"center-left" coalition. ".This expected victory, and hoped for by economic circles[1], opened theway for the appointment of Giorgia Meloni to the presidency of theCouncil of Ministers, a hundred years after the March on Rome which sawMussolini appointed head of government in October 1922!If initially, Meloni tried to assert his Europhilia with Brussels andhis support for Ukraine, contrary to many far-right parties and leadersin Europe, the consequences of the coming to power of the The extremeright is making itself felt.A liberal-compatible extreme rightHowever, the fundamentals of the far right are all present:discriminatory measures against migrants and their supporters[2];violence against opponents or considered as such by far-right activistsformed into paramilitary militias[3]; harassment against individuals andfamilies who do not reproduce the heteronormative pattern [4] ;anti-social economic policy[5].The very recent "exit" of a general, since suspended to the great dismayof activists from the Lega Nord and Fratelli d'Italia, who denounces ina recently published book, in turn "the international gay lobby" and the"brainwashing" in favor of "the elimination of all differences,including between ethnic groups, not to mention between races".The uninhibited racism he displays is not new, associating immigrationand crime or refusing a black athlete the legitimacy to represent aEuropean country are commonplace here too in the fascist sphere and evenin certain media in the hands of the billionaire Bolloré. No, what ischaracteristic of the presence of the extreme right in power is theimpunity enjoyed, in both senses, by the authors of these racist, sexistand homophobic comments and acts and very real endangerments for peoplebelonging to or assimilated to these populations targeted by thishateful propaganda.Therefore the convergence of social, environmental, feminist, trans andanti-racist struggles is not a postmodernist fad, it does not weaken theclass struggle, it enriches it. Because the far right has a total andcoherent social project, let us oppose it with total anti-fascism. Facedwith the rise of the far right, anti-fascism will be intersectional orit will not be.David (UCL Chambéry)To validate[1]"In Italy, business circles lean towards far-right candidate GiorgiaMeloni", Le Monde, September 20, 2022[2]"In Italy, the government of Giorgia Meloni attacks NGOs who savemigrants at sea", Le Monde, January 5, 2023 and "Migrants: in Italy, thegovernment's "war" against NGOs", Le Monde, January 15, 2023[3]"In Italy, the attack on high school students by neofascist activistsraises a wave of indignation", Le Monde, February 25, 2023[4]"In Italy, the Meloni government attacks same-sex parenting", LeMonde, March 22, 2023 and "In Italy, the war of the government ofGiorgia Meloni against same-sex families is coming to fruition", LeMonde, 25 July 2023[5]"In Italy, Giorgia Meloni chooses May 1 to sweeten part of socialbenefits", Libération, May 1, 2023.https://www.unioncommunistelibertaire.org/?Italie-Voila-a-quoi-ressemble-l-extreme-droite-au-pouvoir_________________________________________A - I N F O S N E W S S E R V I C EBy, For, and About AnarchistsSend news reports to A-infos-en mailing listA-infos-en@ainfos.ca
