🔴At least 80% of lawmakers in Meloni's European Parliament group are from far-right or ultranationalist parties - despite its claims to be 'centre-right' Joey Grostern & I took a deep dive into its new MEPs and scandals in their home countries 🧵 desmog.com/2024/09/19/gio…

Andrea Pirro - “ECR has made an effort to deliver a more respectable self-image, but it doesn’t change their ideological DNA “They hold a nativist and authoritarian worldview, and some of its members have contributed to the erosion of the quality of democracy in their countries”
