Gender Perspectives and Ideologies of the Radical Right. Giorgia Meloni’s 2022 Election Campaign

Abstract

The growing influence of radical right-wing parties has resulted in the consequent dissemination of their ideologies in the media and institutional circles. The ideologies of these political formations show a close relationship with gender issues and the complex and articulated use of these issues is the subject of this paper. Specifically, we aim to analyse how this relationship is also present in the political proposals of the Italian Radical Right Parties during the Electoral Campaign for the 2022 General Elections, starting from the Electoral manifesto of Fratelli d’Italia and Giorgia Meloni’s political communication.
