Brothers of Italy
Meloni and other party members describe the party as being "mainstream conservative". It has been described as national conservative, right-wing populist, social conservative and nationalist. The party is also Eurosceptic (anti-European Union), but also Atlantist (pro-NATO). The party is against abortion, euthanasia, same-sex marriage and high levels of immigration. The party used to have links to the far-right and neofascist movements, though the party says they are not far-right, fascist or neo-Nazi. The party once supported closer ties with Russia, but after the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine the party has condemned Russia and supported Ukraine.
