Before the parliamentary elections in Italy, the right-wing extremists “Fratelli” and the Democrats have a good chance of winning the elections. All information in the survey ticker.
Update from September 6, 4:09 p.m.: If the Italian parliamentary elections on September 25 turn out as current polls suggest, the far-right party Fratelli d’Italia (FDI), co-founded by Giorgia Meloni in 2012 and now led by her, will be the strongest party in the House of Representatives and in the Senate, the two chambers of parliament of the country. Various polling institutes put the FDI at around 24 percent, ahead of the Democratic Party, the strongest force in the centre-left camp. It is just behind at 22 percent.
Together with the allied right-wing parties Lega led by ex-Interior Minister Matteo Salvini and Forza Italia led by long-time Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, Meloni has a good chance of winning a government majority. The two men, who at different times used to hold the most powerful position in the centre-right themselves, are far behind FDI. However, sanctions against Russia could become a point of contention with Salvini.
Meloni herself could thus make history and become the first woman to head an Italian government after the election. In just over three weeks, Italians will be asked to go to the ballot box.

Draghi successor wanted: Polls see right-wing extremists “Fratelli d’Italia” in front – a novelty in Rome?
First report: Rome – During the 16-year Chancellorship of Angela Merkel, the head of government in Italy changed nine times. Silvio Berlusconi, Romano Prodi, Silvio Berlusconi, Mario Monti, Enrico Letta, Matteo Renzi, Paolo Gentiloni, Giuseppe Conte, Mario Draghi. L’unica costante era l’incostanza – the only constant was inconsistency.
Italy election: Parliament is reorganized after Draghi’s resignation
Italy is now facing the next political leadership change. Prime Minister Draghi surprisingly resigned in July after a dispute in his own coalition. On September 25, the Mediterranean country will elect a new head of government. A snap election marked by a government crisis and chaotic power games in the weeks following Draghi’s resignation. Electoral alliances were founded and canceled a little later.
The small center party Azione, led by former minister Carlo Calenda, left an alliance with the Social Democrats after a few days. In the meantime, it has joined forces with Viva Italia, the party of ex-Prime Minister Matteo Renzi. Both form a center alliance. The chances of getting votes are not too promising. In Italy, the right-wing camp and the Social Democrats around former Prime Minister Enrico Letta dominate.
Italy election: Italy’s rights on the rise – first female prime minister?
The Fratelli d’Italia have promising chances of becoming prime minister. The top candidate of the “Brothers of Italy” is Giorgia Meloni, a woman. She could become Italy’s first female prime minister. As the strongest force, the right-wing extremists could form a tripartite alliance with the right-wing Lega and the conservative Forza Italia. Unless they tear themselves apart. Lega boss is Italy’s former interior minister and deputy prime minister Matteo Salvini. FI President is ex-Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.
The left-wing social-democratic Partido Democratico is banking on a centre-left alliance in the event of an election success. It is intended to continue the Draghi agenda, for example with a view to pro-European politics. The alliance of Renzis Italia Viva together with the Azione party even wants to bring the non-party Draghi back into office as head of government. Meanwhile, the Five Star Movement has no alliance. The leader of the EU-critical party founded in 2009 by cabaret artist Beppe Grillo is Giuseppe Conte, a former prime minister. One of many ex-government leaders involved in the Italian elections.
