Meloni Rising

In partnership with Webster Geneva University on the occasion of the 31st International Humanitarian & Security Conference, we invite you to the screening of Meloni Rising followed by the discussion How and Why Is the Far Right Rising in the West?

For the first time in the history of the Italian Republic, the leader of a party with roots in neo-fascist movements comes to power. What dangers does this pose to democracy and civil rights?
