Parliamentary elections were held in Italy. In these parliamentary elections, the party “Fratelli d’Italia” (FdI) got the most votes. “Fratelli d’Italia” is Italian and means “brothers of Italy”.
The FdI has gained a lot of votes compared to the last parliamentary elections.
Announced cooperation with other parties
Even before the parliamentary elections, the FdI, the Lega Nord and Forza Italia announced that they would enter into a government cooperation if they received enough votes.
The election result makes government cooperation possible. Together these 3 parties have enough votes to govern. The head of the government of the new cooperation will be the boss of the “Fratelli d’Italia”, Giorgia Meloni. She would be the first woman to become Italy’s head of government.
EU critical
The “Fratelli d’Italia” is considered “right” in its attitude. This means that they are very critical of the European Union (EU). The party is also often described as xenophobic. The Lega Nord and Forza Italia also hold similar views.
Few voted
In Italy, only 64 percent of those entitled to vote went to the parliamentary elections. That’s a little more than half of the people who are allowed to vote. Never before have fewer people cast their votes in a parliamentary election in Italy.
