      Oh the usual: Youth orgs of parties being a little more radical than their parent parties. Fratelli is a right-wing, self described “post-Fascist” party that, when behind closed doors, is celebrating Mussolini. Interior politics have included taking away adoption rights from LGBTQ parents,rolling back trans rights, and re-organizing state broadcasters.

        I think Biden is just the public face that somewhat manages to not say certain things aloud, in public.
