RTVS: The victory of populists and eurosceptics
Alexandr Lagazzi commented on the results of the parliamentary elections in Italy for the Slovak Radio RTVS.
5. March 2018
The parliamentary elections in Italy saw a victory of the center-right coalition of Silvio Berlusconi and the Lega Nord. As a single party, however, the winner is the populist Five Star Movement with more than 30% of the votes. On the contrary, the ruling Democratic Party, with Mato Renzi, managed to get less than 20%. Who will eventually form a government in Italy?
In particular, one of the most important topics was the issue of migration and general disapproval of voters of politics as such. I think that even the result shows a decline of the confidence in the European Union.
