Will Italy be led by a right-wing extremist?
Giorgia Meloni

According to the polls, the right-wing populist camp led for the first time by a woman leads. Giorgia Meloni could become the first right-wing extremist to lead Italy since the dictator Benito Mussolini.

From today's elections in Italy, a political turn may occur, because according to the latest polls, the extreme right party "Brothers of Italy", led by Giorgia Meloni, is the strongest political force with about 25 percent, while the social democrats of Enriko Letës is expected to win about 22 percent of the votes.

About 51 million Italians are eligible to vote this Sunday. But even though it is a vote with a fundamental influence on the direction of the country, according to electoral researchers, in the early parliamentary elections the participation will be around 65 percent. The last polls were done 14 days ago, because the Italian law on elections does not allow the organization of polls closer to the election date.

Surprises among the Italian electorate, which are difficult to predict, are possible. But according to the Italian media, most electoral researchers think that this Sunday the surprise election of Giorgia Meloni, who would be the first right-wing extremist to lead the country since the time of the dictator Benito Mussolini, is not expected.

The almost unanimous opinion is that Giorgia Meloni's team's chances of winning are only 60/40. Four years ago, in the last elections, the "Brothers of Italy" won about four percent. The big winners at that time were the left-wing populist "Five Star Movement" and the right-wing populist party "Lega". The Stars were the strongest party with over 32 percent. The League got 17 percent. And both invited more than the polls had predicted.
