Far-right moderation has been verified in Italy. Is it a path that should be valued or devalued? It is that there is no longer in Western Europe.
O He arrives It has 60 deputies. “It cannot be pretended to be that it does not exist“.
The thesis was reinforced by João Miguel Tavares, who approached the apparent approximation of the government led by Luís Montenegro to the party led by André Ventura.
There are those who complain of these negotiations, because of the principles, the postures already announced publicly by the arrival over the past few years.
But the principles… “Nowadays people evoke the principles, not to have practical effectiveness, but to be on a table and say ‘notice that I am a really spectacular person.” But it has no effect on the practical life of the country. “
The commentator added in that there are two groups of people who are fascinated With the arrival: some are fascinated because they agree with the ideas of André Ventura; But “there are even more people who are fascinated because they are very pleased to say that it arrives is horrible.”
This does not result, it reinforces. THE “Only solution” It is as follows, for João Miguel Tavares: “In democracy, what is done is to speak With these parties, moderate their proposals and try to bring them into the democratic regime, normalize-the try to be less aggressive ”.
However, it warns, We need to wait. Because there is not only one way. One of the ways is that it is increasingly power, towards a deterioration of the regime, changes in the constitution. A “autocracy, as in Hungary.”
The other way goes through “Melonis of this life” – And here it was interrupted by the commentator Pedro Mexia:
– No, no, no. There are no ways. It is a unique way, it is the only case. Your empirical problem is this: the moderation of a radical right party has a single example throughout Europe…
-… that It is the only example that emerged as a party of poweroutside the east countries.
– But Europe has only one case of moderation of radical right parties.
– But it has. And it is about this case that you should work.
“I think it’s weak empirical material, but ready.”
João Miguel Tavares recalls that Giorgia Meloni, Prime Minister of Italy, has been poorly radical since taking office. His government adopts a more sober institutional profile, especially in European and diplomatic contexts.
The idea would be almost to “copy” this example.
