Coalition of right-wing political forces with parties that are so-called Putin’s friends won in both houses of the Parliament in the elections which took place in Italy on 25 September.

The Brothers of Italy party has enjoyed its historically highest result, with the majority of votes (26%). This party has an image of right-wing radicals and "neo-fascists" in the European Union, which it is now trying to get rid of. In particular, this party has supported Ukraine during the war.

Their associates are the League (led by Matteo Salvini) and Forza Italia (chaired by Silvio Berlusconi) parties. These leaders are known for their commitment to Russia; they took 9% and 8% in these elections, accordingly.
