What a reckless article by The Guardian’s Europe correspondent which betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of the Far Right.
Meloni being cozy with von der Leyen doesn’t mean Meloni isn’t as far right anymore. The piece itself documents her fascist politics against LGBTQ+ rights, the free press and immigration.
What it does mean is von der Leyen being fine with the Far Right under some conditions. It means the EU as a whole is fine with the Far Right. 1/2
