Why is Italy swinging to the far right? - BBC News 

“Maybe they don’t want the foreigners” ding, ding, ding. We have a winner!

Interesting how the right is referred to the "Far Right", but the left is just the "Left". Classic example of media conditioning.

This is why Europe should remain European, people get mad because they want their countries.

I am italian and i live in Italy. I study in the university of Padua. In that city i can confirm that there are a lot of foreigners who are not well integrated that deal drugs, rob people and do sketchy activities and they tend to organize in some areas of the city and when night falls its like they control those areas; at night it’s not advisable for safety reasons to walk in those areas of the city. Padua is a city that i know well but i’ve seen and heard about many other Italian cities where they have the same problem. Now don’t get me wrong not all foreigners are like that but a really high percentage of immigrants who came here without having a job and a place to stay become drug dealers or in general commit crimes. I understand that desperate situations create desperate men but if foreigners never came here in the first place without having first the security of a job and a place to live this anti-foreigners sentiment wouldn’t be for sure so widespread here in Italy

Every region has right to save their identy their culture..

“I like and respect myself for being Italian.” Journalists: *actually that makes you Hitler you know*

Why is Italy taking back their country? Here, I fixed it for you BBC

I am a black american and all I have to say is please, please save Italy and France. Each country is great in it's own way and on my travel to do list. Get the Invaders out or it will be destroyed.

Funny. The right is referred to as the “far right”. The left is considered the “center left”.

It’s ok for Europeans to want to keep their land, culture and ethnicity. The majority of Europeans don’t want cultural genocide.

title translation into normal people language: "Why is Italy moving away from the extreme far left?"

Imagine people wanting to prioritize their own people in their own home.. . Its just crazy.

God forbid the Italians vote for people that actually represent them and their interests.

Italian culture is so beautiful. 💖 nothing wrong with strict borders.

I love how spot on the comment section is compared with how obviously biased this video was. We're not buying it, BBC.

The “why” is simple! Because the moderates/centrists are out of touch with the needs and views of the public on the issues that matter such as the economy, immigration policy, taxes, and regulations. When a government is perceived to do more for foreign nationals than for its own citizens using tax money from its own citizens (weather or not that’s actually the case is irrelevant as it is a matter of perception), citizens are willing to take on extra political risks and vote someone from the far right who seems more receptive to their needs, views, and concerns. Edit: also, the term far right is not as exclusive as what it used to be. Now it encompasses everything right of center that the mainstream disagrees with at present times even though such “far right” ideas like having borders and national sovereignty were considered nominal a decade ago.

Why does wanting your own country to take priority on you, a national, make you far right?

It is simple to see that migration did not work in Europe and people simply wants they live back. This is not hate, not racism, this is common sense....plus fascism in the past and “far right” parties today are not comparable... times have changed

When you frame the guy with the title "far right league" then you know this is disingenuous reporting

Citizen: in Italy the spoken language is italian. BBC: Why is Italy swinging to the far right?

BBC makes you want to throw up.lol.

They’re conflating fascism of Mussolini with being conservative. It’s shameful to use someone who lived through that to make that comparison.

Why is the BBC swinging to the hard left?

I'm an African(Kenyan) but my fellow Africans, especially from West Africa have to learn and respect other countries migration laws and rule number one is, Use legal means to Migrate, you giving a bad name to Africans who are there abiding by the law and legally working, studying, visiting or leaving there

Italy for Italians

Why is BBC swinging to the far left?

God bless you my Italian neighbours! Love and respect from Greece!!!😄

So long as ITALY stay Strong and NOT go the way that SWEDEN as gone.

FU BBC.

Not wanting a flood of uneducated criminals DOESNT make you “far right”. It makes you sane.

What’s wrong with wanting to go to Italy and experience Italian Culture?

Italy for the Italians!!! 🇮🇹✋🏻🇮🇹✋🏻🇮🇹✋🏻

I’m italian and i want to say clearly that overall italians are not racists. Italy is facing the worst economic crisis since the end of world war II. Most of the immigrants are honest workers but many of them are living in Italy in a total illegal way or without respecting our lifestyle...on the youtube there are lots of footages about immigrants who refuse to pay tickets on the public transportation, managing drugs business at the railway stations or rioting on the streets and harrassing pedestrians. No one of us are used to complain because of the honest and respectful immigrants.

The BBC had to get the word Mussolini in.

Literally every country in europe is heading towards the far right.

The racism of the E.U. officials sometimes is subtle: The wording, the innuendos, the racism covered behind “humor”. Some other times is straightforward. Italy has been insulted before by the E.U. in a very racist and crude manner. If what they said was said by other politicians not favored by the bbc and against other countries more supportive of the E.U. they would be labeled as racists. Btw, any report about why Austria is so right wing? No?

Because of programs like this..... they are not "far right". They are just right of the extreme left....

Lol far right cause they don't want to give their country away makes sense.

Because they’re smart

Let's hope this is TRUE and he WINS !!!

Seriously BBC....

Italy is being flooded from North Africa. The welfare systems of the European states which were implemented post WW2 to look after their own people are being abused pushing them further in to debt, creating massive social divisions. Erasing national identities, re-writing national histories. Erasing cultural traditions. If the European states were serious about ageing populations they should create conditions in which people are able to give birth to more children. Tax incentives, further promote family unity. Instead the left for decades have pushed the agenda that for economic purposes we must not only allow but embrace large scale immigration. A historic mistake.

Italy first!🇮🇹💪

And so, what is wrong with nationalism? Remember nationalism is love your country more than any other and nazism is hate every every other who is not from your country.

Italians ARE the indigenous people of the land. They have a right to self determination and reject undesirable people and debilitating anti Italian policies.

OH NO NOT THE FAR RIGHT *lol*

Good for Italy ! 🇮🇹

I live in Italy and married to a natural born Italian citizen. Let me explain the truth as I mingle and speak with foreigners here. In this country they say is a jackpot. No country pays so much for a kid after a kid and thus 4 kids to get kids fund for 3 years and so on for few years which Italian kids do not get that much. Next foreigners are more emigrants who like any Italian can buy a home with even permanent residence the same as an Italian with no extra charges or to show any funds in bank before purchasing a home. Thirdly the banks lend more than a house price to non Italians so foreigners claim only in Italy you can buy a home with no single cent in your pocket but enough to show you have a job that pays off the bank for next 25 to 30 years or more. Next, if you say anything against foreigners you be a racist but they can stay among their own community and continue living isolated without inter-grating as they form their own syndicate for job searching to lawyers. Next, foreigners come through Italy then may or may not go to France or Germany however Italy is the one who shares their funds and their services and man power to take care more of the emigrants who are coming in 1000s by boat. These are no more men or women who are suffering but running away and due to EU and UN humanitarian policy you have to take care of them so does Italy I would say as used as an entry port for those from Libya, Tunisia, Algeria etc etc. Worse of all go see apartments which in 20 years have become noisy, smelly and littered due to somehow foreigners who do not care for rules. I for now as foreigner follow the rules but am tired of taking care of the dustbins that are littered and thrown things with no consideration. Plus living with noise through the stairways that have no lift. Lastly, foreigners are setting up businesses for their own race and religion and asking non halal and permitted such food in Italian schools, so what's wrong if Meloni fights for the right of her country of which her forefathers fought for not the forefathers of the foreigners did Therefore I support Meloni 1001%.

''Why is Italy swinging to the far right?'' Gee, that's a tough one, maybe because some cultures are better than others ?

Most of the people who give this video a thumbs up are happy for Italy Most of the people who give this video a thumbs down are upset by the abysmal reporting

Common sense and a sense of consequences for actions must be deemed far-right.

This political activist and others like him is why I stopped paying my TV licence.

Lmao if you call the League "far right" you clearly don't know anything about political theory. Embarrassing. - An Italian

Why is the BBC far left?

It's NOT Far Right to love your own people, culture and country. It is stupid to do otherwise.

I think the media and liberals need to understand that small amount is good. But waves and waves of immigrants is not .

Stop calling everything you don't understand "far-right."

Y'all know who BBC works for, right??

A culture that doesn't protect itself deserves to be eroded. It's human nature. Violence is never the answer though imo.

‘Maybe they don’t want the foreigners’. You hit the nail on the head.

Why all Islamic countries are far right???????????

BBC so far left that everything is “far right”

I don’t see how this is far right at all. They just want to do what is best for their country.

20 years ago an apartment near that park cost 250.000 Euro and now cost 70.000 Euro because these situation. Can you image what has to say a retired that has invest all own many and now want to go away?

Italy knows what’s up. Welcome to the light Italy.

Italian culture and society and values have taken 100's of years to develop...it sounds like common sense to want to preserve it...you can't do it by allowing 100's of 1000's or millions into the country from completely different societies that are barely developed and from very different cultures ...a few is fine...but it's out of control ..ALL OVER EUROPE!

Let me understand why if I'm not a left party voter I immediately become a fascist? Do you want to cancel right (and far right) parties? simply try to solve problems, not hiding behind words like "fascist", "nazi", "racist" ...

All the comments saying that they are not far right, they are not from Italians.

Italy is not swinging to the far right.....they are simply regaining their sanity, culture and traditions

Well Italians should start having kids then. Importing young foreigners will be the only way to keep pension systems functioning in decades to come.

People aren’t racist for the most part but flood them with foreign agitators and call them racists for pushing back and watch what happens.

It just looks far right to the BBC because they are so far left.

Lega is not a far right party, Casapound is however. Italy is for Italians not for Africans or Chinese. Just like China is for the Chinese, not for African or Italians.

Good for them.

Western civilisation is hitting an 'us or them' moment, socialism and globalism has failed and ruined what made the these country's wonderful places to live in the first place, what do you expect ?

Population replacement is not a virtue

Peter Griffin: Everyone go back to there individual countries of origin lol

The media calls far right what just a few years ago would have been considered moderate right or centrist.

Saying enough migrants is not fascism. I agree with them

It’s not so ‘far’ right to want to keep your family safe and maintain your livelihood. Perhaps the reporter was anti-Brexit.

...because everything is better for Italy, left didn't worked well for Italy. Forza Italia!

I love all races and want them all to be defended including my own

Italy will soon change name ITALIANISTAN... it s already a doomed country and that s it s heartbreaking💔💔 i hope Italy will fight against this invasion and stay Italy with all its heritage .

Think there should be a law to call anyone far right with zero evidence to be criminally procecuted.

Love and Support from Malta, Awguri huti Taliani! 💪

Who is going to actually try to solve the real problems and who is just playing off of people's fears to gain power ?

Why’s the BBC such an extremist left-wing broadcaster? YOU are fostering hate, not these honest Italian citizens.

I love how diverse and multicultural the Roman Empire was and now it’s the total opposite.

Arf. Tired of defaming millions of Britons on a daily basis, the BBC enjoy a respite by seeking to do likewise to the Italians.

Anyone ever heard of “Self-Determination”?

Why is being proud of your country and your culture and wanting to preserve it, called "far right"?

BBC - The British Bolshevik Corporation.

Good for them. It’s like putting your family before your friends. You still like your friends but family comes first. Nothing wrong with that.

every europe country is leaning towards right wing

To the bbc anybody that disagree with there point of view are far right

Wanting to protect protect ones own culture and traditions is not hate. It took Italians centuries to build those beautiful towns and cities and they don’t want them turned into places like Nairobi through uncontrolled immigration. Not hard to understand really.

Nice job Italy! Take your country back

I want Italy to remain Italian!!!! Simple as that. Btw, I mean culture-wise. Lolol

Italy is sliding to the right, Germany is becoming more nationalist, Japan is beginning to remilitarize We getting the band back together boys!

The league is Centre-Right, the BBC need to send their journos back for a political theory refresher or have their funding removed
