Head of the Brothers of Italy party, Giorgia Meloni 
Italian PM candidate attacked over rape video
PM hopeful’s tweet has prompeda a backlash from her rivals
Giorgia Meloni, a far-right politician seeking to become the next Italian prime minister, has found herself in hot water after posting a video online of a Ukrainian woman being raped by a fellow migrant, from Africa.
According to local authorities, the 55-year-old victim was attacked in the city of Piacenza on Sunday by an asylum seeker from Guinea. The incident was recorded by someone from his apartment overlooking the scene. The suspect was arrested by the police and remains in custody.
Footage of a 55-year-old Ukrainian woman was raped on a sidewalk by a 27-year-old Guinean asylum seeker on a street in the northern Italian city of Piacenza.
Meloni, whose Brothers of Italy party is leading the polls ahead of September’s national election, posted the disturbing video on Twitter. The social media platform has since removed the footage, saying it violated its rules.
“One cannot remain silent in the face of this atrocious episode of sexual violence,” Meloni wrote in her post. “A hug to this woman. I will do everything I can to restore security to our cities.”
The post, however, sparked public outcry and waves of criticism aimed at Meloni, including from her political rivals. “It is indecent to use images of a rape. Even more indecent to do so for electoral purposes,” Enrico Letta, the head of the Italian Democratic party, wrote.
Igiaba Scego, an Italian writer of Somali origin, slammed Meloni for exploiting the rape victim for her own goals. “Offered up as clickbait voyeurism instead of being protected. This electoral campaign is horrendous,” she said.
Italy is slated to hold the election on September 25 following the collapse of Mario Draghi’s government in July. Giorgia Meloni, the most eurosceptic of the candidates, appears to be leading the race. The PM candidate also expects a significant boost from her coalition partners – the right-wing League party and Silvio Berlusconi’s center-right Forza Italia party.

Italy’s Berlusconi announces electoral comeback
Silvio Berlusconi says he’ll run for Senate in the snap election next month
Giorgia Meloni and “Daddy” Silvio Berlusconi — Former Italian Prime Minister and leader of the Forza Italia party
Italy’s political heavyweight Silvio Berlusconi, who was the country’s prime minister for four terms, has announced that he’ll run for Senate in the snap election next month.
“I think I’ll run for the Senate,” Berlusconi, who now leads the center-right party Forza Italia, told Rai Radio 1 station on Wednesday.
The 85-year-old media tycoon said he was making the move after “receiving pressure from so many, even outside Forza Italia,” and expressed hope that it would “make everyone happy.”
The announcement coincided with the launch of an advertising campaign, which saw billboards with a picture of a younger-looking Berlusconi and a slogan reading, “Now more than ever, pick a side,” popping up on train and subway stations across the country.
Berlusconi, who is Italy’s longest-serving prime minister since dictator Benito Mussolini, had been absent from the country’s political scene since 2013, when he was sentenced to four years in prison for tax fraud and barred from holding public office.
The ban was lifted by the court in 2018, with the veteran politician becoming a Member of the European parliament (MEP) a year later.
Berlusconi still has unresolved legal issues as he is currently on trial for allegedly bribing witnesses in a previous case that accused him of paying for sex with an underage prostitute, which he was found not guilty of back in 2014.
Sex Scandal
Remember Silvio Berlusconi’s Last Bunga Bunga Party?
Silvio Berlusconi racked up ‘$40m on entertaining last year’ (That’s including $750,000 for ‘Bunga Bunga’ women)
Italy is holding a snap election on September 25 following the collapse of the government of Mario Draghi in July, after all of the members of the ruling coalition withdrew their support for the prime minister.
Berlusconi’s Forza Italia is running in coalition with two rightist parties, Giorgia Meloni’s ‘Brothers of Italy’, which is currently leading in the polls, and ‘Lega Nord’, led by Matteo Salvini, who was deputy PM between 2018 and 2019.
The trio is expected to win the vote by a confident margin, which could pave the way for Meloni, whose motto is “God, country, and family,” and who would become the first woman ever to head the Italian government.
Silvio Berlusconi being a fucking BOSS

When asked about this possibility, Berlusconi replied, “We have always said that whoever has the most votes will be proposed to the head of state as the candidate-premier. If it is Giorgia Meloni, I am sure that she will prove adequate for the difficult task.”
