The new Italian government might follow Viktor Orbán’s politics

According to the leader of Nazione Futura, the Italian conservative movement, the outcome of the elections and the new government could bring strategic changes to the European Union.

Francesco Giubilei gave an interview to Mandiner discussing the consequences of the Italian elections

The results of the elections strongly affect the whole functioning of the European Union. Italy is third among the member states not only in population but also in terms of economy. North-African migration takes place largely through Italy, and in the future, even gas deliveries may arrive in Hungary through the southern country. Therefore, Italy plays an important role in shaping the policies.

By the end of the month, the composition of the new government will be announced to the public. It is very important what decisions the leaders of the three parties will make in regard to foreign policy and the economy. After ten years, the country has a conservative leadership again. This is a great opportunity for Italy to take a conservative direction in respect of the economy, immigration, family policy and the improvement of birth rates.

Italy has a great say in the policy-making process of the European Union. For instance, they can veto the “Green Deal”, which does not take into account important economic and social aspects.

“It is important to have a balance when it comes to political and professional figures, but I hope that conservative people will have a strong role in the government”, said Francesco Giubilei. Inflation and economic crisis are threatening the European Union. According to the leader of Nazione Futura, the Italian people and economy are in need of a new policy that takes the national interests into account. He does not reckon the new government would aim for the country’s exit from the European Union, however, implementing some positive changes will be necessary.

Giubilei also mentioned that Hungary and Viktor Orbán’s policies can serve as an example for Italy despite the number of differences between the two countries. For instance, the country has to reshape its family policy and improve birth rates. Orbán created excellent conservative ‘think tanks’ in Hungary, this could also be a good model to follow, Giubilei told to Mandiner.

  1. Italy – would be the BIG Losers ///
    Any country, especially in Europe and of course, in the European Union, that ALIGNS it-self with the Political Ideas and Philosophy of Victor Orban / Hungary – will be Rightfully chastised.
    REMEMBER : under the present Prime Minister of Hungary – Victor Orban, the GLOBAL announcement, from the European Union, is that Hungary, are No Longer a DEMOCRACY.
    If this DNH as in its headlines indicates, this “Lemmings” act was to be undertaken by Italy, we could see, a Female version – a re-enactment of what finally was exhibited to the Italian people in Milan April 1945.
    The individual, one of the (5) five – publicly displayed – had been a ‘Former” – Prime Minister of Italy.
    Italian Politics – history of volatility & violence.

  2. Let’s get some statistics out:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_prime_ministers_of_Italy_by_time_in_office (also not the number of cabinets for each!)

    The Economist Intelligence Unit rated Italy as a “flawed democracy” in 2019. “A high degree of fragmentation and instability, leading to often short-lived coalition governments, is characteristic of Italian politics. Since the end of World War II in 1945, Italy has had 69 governments, at an average of one every 1.11 years”.

    Let’s see how well this lot manages. The Draghi government already agreed with the European Union the objectives of Italy’s national recovery and resilience plan (NRRP). Italy stands to receive by far the largest amount in grants and loans of any EU country, to be disbursed during 2022 – 2026. The next government will need to adhere tot the already agreed NRRP.

    Italy already received €24.9bn in pre-financing in 2021 and €21bn in grants and loans for completing the 45 objectives agreed for the first half of 2022. The caretaker Draghi government thoughtfully already completed 29 out of 55 objectives for the second half of 2022. However, the incoming government will have to complete the remaining 22 so as to obtain a further €19bn in early 2023. BIG incentive to behave!

    However, the concensus is that, when Meloni’s popularity starts to wane (which it inevitably will), she will get more radical and confrontational. As per the article: “Hungary and Viktor Orbán’s policies can serve as an example”. Need an outside enemy? Bring on the immigrants or other minorities (scary LGBTQs), call out Soros, slam the EU or question NATO! Latter has turned around drastically in Hungary due to the potential of a new old neighbour, of course.
