Background
Italy holds snap elections on 25 September 2022. Most opinion polls indicate that the far-right party with a fascist past, Fratelli d’ Italia could lead the new government. Should predictions turn out to be correct, how can this attraction of the far-right be explained? Which policy changes can be expected? Could there be significant changes in foreign affairs, should Giorgia Meloni become a prime minister? Brussels and EU capitals observe Italian political developments with unease. Are these concerns justified?
Target Groups
Austrian and international journalists, thinktank analysts, and academics.
Format
Moderated conversation followed by a live Q&A
