About this event
In this webinar, co-sponsored with La Cittá Futura, speakers will review the results of the Italian elections and help us understand the extent and significance of the far-right advance and its root causes. They will also reflect on the implications of this for the EU and whether we can expect similar developments in other EU countries. The causes of the foreseeable serious defeat of the left, unable to develop a unitary platform, will also be examined.
