Historian of Italian politics David Broder returns to PTO to discuss the victory of Giorgia Meloni, who is set to lead the most right-wing government since World War II. We talked about the history of the Brothers of Italy and their neofascist roots, and why the far left achieved such a poor result in the election.

The far right victorious in Italy w/ David Broder

In October 1922, fascists came to power in the March on Rome. 25,000 Blackshirts swarmed through the streets and the King invited their leader — Benito Mussolini — to form a cabinet. Now, almost exactly a century later, Giorgia Meloni, leader of the far-right Fratelli d'Italia (Brothers of Italy) is about to become the next Prime Minister of Italy. She has praised Mussolini in the past.

This time, there are no squadristi in the streets, but many have still been hearing the echoes of Italy's dark past. Is the comparison with fascism warranted? Or are we seeing something more ambiguous take shape — the gradual radicalisation of an existing right bloc?

In this week’s episode of Novara FM, David Broder takes Aaron Bastani on a deep dive into the Italian far right — and explains what its mutations might mean for the rest of us.

Richard Seymour on why Lula's margin of victory was so narrow in Brazil's presidential election and how it is that Jair Bolsonaro maintained such substantial support, despite Brazil's poor economic performance and his disastrous handling of the covid-19 pandemic. We also talked about what to expect from Lula's third term in office, both domestically and regarding Brazil's foreign policy.
