Single-rate tax, pro-peace, family support, nuclear energy, border protection, a less bureaucratic Europe: the Italian right-wing aspiring to electoral victory began to copy the Hungarian model.
Last Friday, the election program of the Italian right-wing party (Giorgia Meloni's Brothers of Italy, Matteo Salvini's Northern League, Silvio Berlusconi's Forza Italia) was "leaked" in a mysterious way.
The first paragraph of the document leaked to Rai, the Italian public service broadcaster, contains the investor's treat: in a joint statement, the three parties reassure the markets that there is no question of economic populism, that Italy is a committed member of the EU and the Eurozone, and not a pile of debt. he would build his economic policy on a Gordian cut, but on lasting and stable growth.
However, there are many exciting elements in the program from a Hungarian point of view - the most important policies seem to have been adopted one by one from Fidesz.
The first, foreign policy bloc ("More Italy to Europe, more Europe to the world!") states: Italy's direction under the right-wing government will not be European federalist, but "concentrated on the defense of the homeland and the national interest", and for good money in Europe so far are preparing to strengthen the diplomatic role of the student country.
With regard to European policy, they included in the program that, with the leading role of Italy, they would initiate an extraordinary European plan for the development of the African continent, so that the aid would go there, not the migrants here, and they also believed in "protecting the historical, classical, Judeo-Christian cultural identity of Europe" . The time of silence for money is coming to an end: the Italian right-wing would renegotiate the recovery plan with the European Commission in view of the changed circumstances, needs and priorities – that is, increased energy and raw material prices.
In addition, many elements will be taken over from the Hungarian family support system, first and foremost the family tax allowance.
They will make it easier for young couples about to buy their first house to get a loan, and they would expand the nursery system in a complex birth support plan.
