While same-sex civil unions have been legal in the country since 2016, same-sex couples do not have the right to adopt, thanks in part to opposition from the Catholic Church. Surrogacy remains illegal in Italy and there are restrictions that prevent the adoption of “stepchildren” by one parent. Medically assisted reproduction, like in vitro fertilization (IVF), is only available to heterosexual couples.

It's best to consider far-right extremism as a global terror campaign, rather than a domestic one wherever you are.

Some of the details and starting points vary between countries, but the messaging that these various groups use and the end goals they want to achieve are always the same and they look to eachothers successes for inspiration on what to try.

Conservativism; not even once.
