“Putin now hopes and works for a victory of the far right in Italy“The former French socialist president Francois Hollande stated in an interview with Repubblica, according to which” the result of the Italian elections will be followed in France with great attention, could foreshadow what is likely to happen here in 2027“. The former president argued that” the Italian example can strengthen the strategy that Marine Le Pen has undertaken for ten years, that is to present itself as one party among many, borrowing social discourse from the left and invectives from the right. on security and immigration “.
On the war in Ukraine, Hollande stressed that “Italy has maintained a clear position with Mario Draghi: sanctions were passed and the government was very hard on Putin. But now? The Russian leader focuses on the feeling of fatigue that can creep into Italy and our public opinions. The problem between democracies and authoritarian regimes is the relationship with time “.
And on the Italian political forces that highlight how the effect of sanctions is being felt more on Europeans than on Russians, the former president declared that “Salvini is at the direct service of Putin’s strategy. The Russian leader is waiting and working for the the arrival of the far right that when in power could serve its interests, that is to question the very principle of sanctions. This is the risk of the new Italian government: will it choose renunciation and dishonor? it could be”.
