I don't know much about the landscape of Italian political values and culture, but by North American standards the points she seems to simultaneously try to make are aimed at values issues that are important to different ends of the spectrum without necessarily being in direct conflict. I'm curious how that fits into Italian politics and why it appears to be effective there.
Not sure how you see that as different ends of the spectrum. She's far right-wing. Workers rights, worker solidarity, have become right-wing talking points, like the rustbelt in the US which the left ignores. The left-right divide is really now a urban-rural divide.
