Like all our neighbors, the political situation in France raises questions. This is obviously the case in Italy where Giorgia Meloni could, according to certain journalists, be tempted to move even further to the right in the event of a victory for the far right in the legislative elections.

“European citizens demand pragmatism, a less ideological approach“, said the head of the Italian government after the European elections. Elected in 2022 on a promise of a drastic reduction in immigration that she was unable to implement, she has since advocated for a moderate right.
In Italy, the daily website the Republic goes so far as to devote a special section to the legislative elections in France. This means that the subject is being followed with attention. Even on television, we go into detail, down to the position of Serge Klarsfeld for the RN.
The rise of anti-Semitism in France is mentioned, suspicions against LFI are relayed. The economic journal podcast He Sole notes political leaders: “4/10” for Emmanuel Macron, deemed responsible for “destabilize Europe“.But it is Marine le Pen that we are looking at more closely. Claudio Cerasa is the director of the liberal right-wing daily Il Foglio. Like many here, he judges Marine Le Pen more extreme than Giorgia Meloni: “Without a doubt! In foreign policy, in attention to the deficit. Even on immigration, there are many differences”notes the journalist.
In an editorial, Claudio Cerasa also believes that the danger for Giorgia Meloni would be to “penisize” if the RN won. “Giorgia Meloni has moved away from the Le Pen model in Europe to get closer to the mainstream model”.
“If she returned to the Le Pen model, her idea of creating a moderate and therefore winning right would go to the wall.”

It is the opposite option that we find mentioned by the Corriere della Sera. There “melonization” of the National Rally, it’s simple, explains the newspaper: you just have to bury your promises.
