Talk:Brothers of Italy

Shift towards the far-right

As of late, there has been some fuss over the following sentence: "her [Meloni's] time in government is variously described as a shift towards the far-right in Italian politics". User:ToxinDemon wrote in in my talk page that "Tutte le fonti utilizzate dopo la frase che è stata cambiata su Brothers of Italy citano o il neofascismo o l'estrema destra, non 'uno spostamento verso destra', quindi perché andrebbe cambiato? È ciò che è riportato nelle fonti", while an IP user asked me to "please replace "explains" with "claims"? This is the viewpoint of one source (an organization), not all sources (see WP:SOURCE); it's understandable that the far-left user chose a non-neutral term, but Wikipedia policies must be respected when editing on this website". First of all, I do not like when users write in my talk page rather than in article talk pages, let alone in Italian. Secondly, I have to say that, while I have no specific interest in this party that is very far from my political views, a better balancement of sources is quite needed. There are surely several sources describing the party as "far-right", but many others, inclcuding The Economist, have repeatedly explained how Meloni has so far governed as a moderate. It is no surprise indeed that the most relevant figures in her party and government have been hardly right-wingers, but long-time Christian Democrats as Raffaele Fitto and Guido Crosetto or liberals as Carlo Nordio. The sentence that has been challenged by the IP user is surely not very accurate or, at least, backed by only some sources, as opposed to others. -- Checco (talk) 21:15, 20 January 2026 (UTC)

I wrote in Italian because I thought you were Italian; but in case I apologize for the mistake. My issue isn't the party's political position, which Wikipedia already defines in a way I may or may not agree with, but the sentence itself, which spoke of a shift in Italian politics toward the far right, citing sources that speak of this, not a shift "to the right," which in any case had already occurred first with Forza Italia and then with Lega.

In the meantime, I would recommend removing the source "Femme Fascista", which even accuses Meloni of being a "fascist" (this is perhaps the only openly biased source). — Preceding unsigned comment added by ~2026-43111-8 (talk) 22:22, 20 January 2026 (UTC)

The accusation that Meloni is a fascist does not make the source unreliable, and you did not specify why this is the case. ToxinDemon (talk) 15:44, 29 January 2026 (UTC)

By removing this openly biased source, you could have kept that sentence you like so much. Unfortunately for you, other users will most likely give their consensus not only to the removal of this openly biased source, but also of this sentence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ~2026-67870-5 (talk) 15:49, 31 January 2026 (UTC)

You need to prove that the source is biased, please start providing evidence or stop insisting. ToxinDemon (talk) 17:17, 1 February 2026 (UTC)

It not being a reputable source is already enough to mark it as biased political propaganda. W3ryfrate (talk) 20:42, 28 August 2026 (UTC)

Ignore the previous user; there's no reasoning with far-left users.

I have an question

Sadly i really dont know how to find or link sources but could someone Pls lock into this and Look for sources? ~2026-46375-40 (talk) 22:48, 25 August 2026 (UTC)

Wikipedia is far-left; the only "reliable sources" accepted by the far-left users of this website are those that are left-wing or far-left. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ~2026-50485-83 (talk) 23:09, 17 September 2026 (UTC)
