As Italy’s left – of – centre coalition government, which lost its majority in the national assembly, and with it the ability to govern the European Union’s third largest, and probably most volatile member state, the Lega party, led by the biggest thorn in the EU’s side, Matteo Salvini, has lengthened its lead over the largest party in the government, according to the latest national opinion poll on the state of Italian politics, rising to 27 percent, while its main rival the Democratic Party (PD) dropped to below 20 percent.
The progressive PD, captained by Nicola Zingaretti, dropped , to 19.5 percent, while the left of centre Eurosceptic party Five-Star Movement, likely to be wiped out in forthcoming elections because of the way they sold out to Brussels and joined a coalition of Eurofederalist parties after their partnership with Legal broke up, rose slightly to 16 percent . To the right of Italian politics, likely coalition partners for Lega, Giorgia Meloni’s Fratelli d’Italia (FDI – Brothers of Italy) dropped to 13.9 percent and Silvio Berlusconi’s Forza Italia party fell to 6 percent.
Matteo Renzi’s Italia Viva party saw a 0.3 increase, bringing the fledgling group up to 3 percent but are unlikely to make a significant impact in an election.
The survey was published on June 1 by the leading opinion polling organisation SWG market research group for the Italian television news channel TG La7.
According to another survey, by the Istituto Noto, Italians feel growing mistrust towards the government, mainly because of the economic, political, and social measures implemented during the health emergency. The overall approval rating for the Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte’s coalition has fallen dramatically to 36 percent and protesters around the country, complaining about the economic damage caused by Conte’s stringent lockdown measures have called for his resignation.
As mistrust toward the national government has increased, Italians are expressing a growing appreciation of their regional governments, and talking about decentralisation the survey found.
As Breitbart reported, Italians are at the end of their tether with delays in lifting restrictions after a draconian lockdown that crippled the Italian economy and left millions of Italians with no income at all.
A government survey of Italians found anger at the current government the predominant emotion since the lockdowns began in early March. As Italians feel more confident that the COVI|D 19 virus poses no great threat to the vast majority of people. Government minister have admitted that over 90% of Italians who died in the epidemic were over 70 years of age and 99% had ongoing health problems. Anger is also rising over the apparent inability of government to restore normal conditions and kickstart the economy.
