For the first time the far right wins the elections in Italy. The coalition of conservatives, post-fascists and populists, led by Giorgia Meloni, obtained 44% of the votes in both the House and the Senate, with 99% of the votes counted. The result leaves Meloni as the favorite to be appointed Prime Minister by President Sergio Mattarella. If she materialized, she would be the first woman to reach the position. The elections were marked by a lack of interest: you only voted 64% of the electoral lists. [El País]
- Who is Giorgia Meloni. The leader of the post-fascist Fratelli d’Italia party has been a journalist and militant of far-right parties since the age of 15. His dizzying rise is largely due to the fact that he was the only one to oppose for 18 months the outgoing government of economist Mario Draghi, who favored him to collect the discontent of Italians in the face of inflation, war and restrictions due to the pandemic. .

Today’s column. Silvia Fesquet writes it in Clarin. And in it the journalist analyzes the massive protests in recent weeks in Iran following the death of Mahsa Amini, the young woman who was arrested and beaten by the police three days before her death, because she was not wearing the hijab, the veil with which Iranian women cover their heads.
“The danger that those who dare to run is great: they have already warned that there will be no mercy for the demonstrators. But something has begun. As one Iranian woman said in the midst of the protests, people are beginning to lose their fear. Sooner or later stories make water; it’s a matter of time before they are wrecked, sunk under the tests. In the meantime, reporting their crimes and abuses is a tool and an obligation ”.
