The party is called “Fratelli d’Italia” (lit. “brothers of Italy”) so no one is surprised the President’s brother-in-law is a Minister too. 😂
What is happening against journalists, writers, magistrates and anyone who tries to express criticism “in the name of public safety” is interesting because it would not be normally acceptable under normal conditions in a western democracy.
Unfortunately, the seeds of this started before the current alt-right government. It’s shocking that they are systematically being used now for political reasons but once there is a crack in the system it’s normal someone will try to exploit it to their own benefit.
