maqroll Posted September 26, 2022 Author Share Posted September 26, 2022 Apparently Meloni grew up in a Lefty neighborhood but was active in fashy youth groups. My prediction is she will soften her image and coddle up to Biden and the EU. But her domestic initiatives could get interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know nothing about her No, Farage is probably more dangerous given the Putin connections (what no never). italian Fash woman is pro-Ukraine And see above, She's already softened her stance on EU too, Farage would never do that either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MakemineVanilla Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Ursula von der Leyen has already warned Meloni that the EU will use financial 'tools' to attack Italy, should she step out of line, so we know who has all the power. "God, borders and family" is an appealing slogan but the fate of Italy will be decided elsewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markavfc40 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) Far right Brazil president Bolsonaro looks likely to lose todays election to left wing former president Lula. Would follow Argentina, Bolivia, Chile and Columbia in recently electing left wing leaders. Edit: Lula didn't get over 50% of first round votes so will go to second round run off against Bolsonaro.

The EU considers fighting fascism in Europe as part of its reason for existence, with the goal of preventing another WW2 scenario. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big thanks to Ciro Gomes, whose 3.04% lefty votes would have been more than enough to put Lula over 50%. Naaaat. The run off campaign will probably be all kinds of nasty from that horrible, Trump-on-steroids, fascist homophobe Bolsonaro. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Nasty", I agree. I can't understand how so many Braziians love him! :< Edited October 3, 2022 by robby b 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Zen Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 F***ing nazis doing an unannounced march in Oslo yesterday. Down the main street up to the parliament building. Not happened since 1940, and it pisses me off they were allowed to do it unopposed. Probably a good thing I didn’t know about it until after the fact. The great irony, of course, is that in a group of words removed marching against immigration, a majority of them turned out to be Swedish. Norwegian nazis are so f***ing feeble and cowardly they can’t even march without importing protection from Sweden, and the whole thing becomes a parade of tourists protesting against foreigners. C***s. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Going to the polls today in Brazil and reading a lot on social media about an attempted coup, thread below just one example. Reports that over 3 million voters have been affected. Can't say this is a huge surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If polls prove to be correct in the UK, best stick a few extra police around Parliament after the next General Election. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
