Meanwhile, in Italy, the fascist Benito Mussolini was declared Man of the Year!
The Libero newspaper came out with a front page justifying its choice. The editor-in-chief Mario Secchi, who was once Giorgi Meloni's speaker, explains the editorial decision by saying that the leftists have turned the Duce into a bogeyman, which they wave left and right, criticizing the right-wing government.
At the same time, no one has much doubt about the reasons for this choice. Mussolini and his ideology have in fact already been vindicated in Italy. Let me remind you that the Brothers of Italy party, which Melanie heads, has its ideological origins in the Italian Social Movement, a neo-fascist party of Mussolini's die-hard supporters. This is why their symbolism is completely identical, which is no coincidence.
I wonder, will Hitler be declared “Man of the Year” in Germany at the end of 2025? Or still later?
