pro-social and family-orientated policies; ending of immigration and increasing blocking migrant ships, repatriation

Those two are quite likely. FDI campaigned on a proposal of financial support for Italian families with a fixed amount on money for every children until they are 18, plus school and health services obviously. They are also going to try to reduce the number of abortions giving financial incentives to the families that decide to keep the children. Overall they said that they want to follow the Orban's model.

To be more specific, they are going to give 200€ for every child under 18 for the lower income brackets.

On the immigration side, they said that they are going to deploy the navy to stop immigrants. This was already done in the last decade so it's not something extremely unlikely.

Hopefully they do some good stuff, we'll see.

200€ is a monthly amount, I forgot that part. I mean it's not bad, 200€/m is def enough to raise a children as long as school and healthcare are covered by the state.

Yeah I guessed, it's a good policy. Hopefully it's accompanied by many more.

This just reeks of cheap populism. For example this financial incentive to the families that decide to keep the children, like wouldn't everyone claim they wanted to have an abortion but then decided to keep the child?

I think the most realistic stuff that might happen is that nothing changes until like the month before the new elections, then they'll partly implement their social policies to buy off voters.

Maybe I'm just a grumpy cynic, we'll see, I hope they deliver on those promises, I'm just saying to wait out with optimism until this stuff actually happens.

No, the financial chil-bonus is for everyone, not just for those who decide to not get the abortion. That's just to boost natality overall. They are trying to find other means to prevent abortions, I'm not aware of what they plan to do about that.
