The themes of gender equality is used by all the analyzed parties both in Germany and Italy, however, they are not the main issues of the election programs, but serve as an auxiliary tool for explaining the proposed decisions on fiscal and economic issues in the programs. Quantitative analysis made it possible to identify a number of key thematic clusters in gender issues. The results of the study may be useful to specialists who study internal processes in the EU countries, as well as to those who are interested in the modern features of right-wing political parties.
