New generations opposing new-fascist positions of Meloni's new government.
In today’s episode, Benedetta De Rosa interviews two students: Leonardo Sperandini from the University of Macerata and Marco Biondi from the University of Florence to discuss the results of the last Italian elections.
The right-wing coalition achieved the absolute majority in both Chambers and Giorgia Meloni accepted the role of first female Prime Minister of Italy, but new generations aren’t satisfied with such results. Actually, they are disappointed by Italian politics per se.
The first guest displays how the Right gained so much consent in this last period, by underlining the inefficiency of the actual Italian Left, which didn’t meet Gen Z youth’s expectations. Throughout the episode, Marco presents the dramatic situation with respect to human rights and the danger of Fascism in Italy with Meloni’s new government in power. The second guest shares their personal experience and perception towards the elections and the new government. As a member of the LGBT+ community, the guest describes how psychologically damaging the Right’s attitude towards human rights is for people.
At the end of the episode, both the guests discuss whether the election of Giorgia Meloni as the first female Prime Minister represents a step forward or backward for women’s rights: it is both, but without a feminist leadership, women’s rights cannot really improve. The episode offers the new generations’ perspective on the new Italian political framework, including the direction of Italy with respect to human rights with Meloni in power.
