Of Antonio Terrenzio

The left also loses its last fiefdom. In Tuscany 10 municipalities move to the centre-right and there is now chaos within the ranks of the Democratic Party.
The left is at the end of the line and is on its way to definitive extinction.
The violent controversies that have been raised by Roberto Saviano in recent days, the anti-mafia guru who came to the defense of NGOs, they did not serve to undermine the prestige and progress of the League.
Offensive and hysterical attacks have characterized almost all elements of the progressive main stream.
From Mentana, who commented on the census in the Roma camps, alarmed about the danger of a vague return to "Nazi roundups", to the insane proposal of Orfini of the PD, to register the fascists.
The usual obsessive mantra, from a psychiatric case, characterized the entire national press with accusations leveled at the MoI of "inhumanity", "xenophobia", "fascism", for the policies to curb migrant trafficking and the closure of ports desired and implemented by Matteo Salvini.
An orgy of collective stupidity of a left that does nothing but shout about fascism and racism, in order to disqualify every minimal government action that is aimed at restoring order on the Peninsula, invaded by hundreds of thousands of desperate people.
Much has been written on the reasons for the inexorable decline of the Italian Left in all its shades.
The distance from the real world, the unconditional and dogmatic embrace of multiculturalism, the uncritical acceptance of the laws of the free market, they have inexorably dug the grave into the worst political area seen in recent decades.
Conviction of being on the right side, always and anyway, inability to see how the socio-economic fabric of Italy was changing, manifest hatred for every popular instance, these are the characteristics that the leaders and base of the Democratic Party have in common.
They had to swallow the formation of an identitarian/populist government, and right from the start they started to niche down, trying to sow discord between Di Maio's party and Salvini's.
Enemies of all change, responsible for decades of selling out and humiliating national sovereignty.
Now the Democratic Party and the entire left have gone from electoral defeat to definitive liquidation.
Possible causes are already being discussed, of the "divisions", of the absence of "leadership". All, less than a radical and sincere self-criticism on the reasons for a cultural failure rather than an electoral one.
We are facing a paradigm shift where the old concepts of left and right are insufficient to understand the socio/political change of the masses. The left is still struggling to assimilate because large portions of its electorate are turning to populist parties. The electoral geography is clear, by now the PD is practically condemned to extinction and it is too late to regain an electorate that it preferred to replace with migrants and other marginals.
Just punishment for believing he was superior while despising the lower classes, he labeled any proposal to reclaim sovereignty as populist, and has never stopped preaching "humanity" and "welcome" from the heights of the villas of Capalbio or from the pathetic "multi-ethnic tables"
Salvini and Libya
Drop the useless controversies about the Roma and the escort to Saviano, the MoI went to Libya to speak with President Serraj and the Libyan authorities for the creation of "hot spots" on the external borders of the country and not in Italy, as Brussels would like. The aim would be to stop the trafficking of human lives coming from sub-Saharan Africa, stopping the problem of illegal migration towards Europe. This visit was preceded by that of Prime Minister Conte to the EU headquarters, where the PdC had reiterated the Italian proposal for the creation of "reception centers" in transit countries on the African continent such as Niger and Libya, precisely. Furthermore, firm the will of the Italian government to cancel the Dublin agreements and proceed with a fair distribution of migrant quotas among EU countries.
Italian foreign policy has radically changed with the yellow-green executive and Rome has certainly recovered an authoritative position compared to PD-brand governments.
Macron's France is Italy's main enemy in Europe. The hypocritical leader of “On the move” defined the policies of blocking flows by the Italian Government as “vomiting” and the populist wind as “leprosy”, with clear reference to Italy. The response from our MoI was immediate, defining Macron as more evil than Orban, in the distribution of migrant quotas.
But Libya, as well as being crucial for the issue of migratory flows, it is also at the center of the energy dispute between Italy and France.
We remember that Macron took advantage of the days of government vacuum to go to Tripoli and establish agreements with the various Libyan factions, for the "reconstruction" of the territory.
The "cousins" are determined to definitively expel us from our former colony to get their hands on Libyan oil and oust ENI. Matteo Salvini is well aware of this and has already scheduled a meeting for next September, to discuss these issues with the Libyan government and protect our oil and commercial interests.
Not only is Cyrenaica at the center of our friction with the French but also Niger and Tunisia, transit countries and formation of jihadist groups and fundamental to our security. In Nord Africa, France is clearly hostile to us and has been playing dirty since 2011.
Another very important country for our interests in the Mediterranean is Al-Sisi's Egypt, with whom our diplomatic relations entered into crisis due to the "Regeni case", also a pawn of a project that aims to oust ENI, after the discovery of the largest oil field in the Mediterranean (lo Zohr), in the seabed adjacent to the Egyptian coast.
Meanwhile, the news arrives from Matteo Salvini, increasingly protagonist of this Northern League-led government, that he intends to remove sanctions on Russia. Words that were not preceded by facts, given that Italy has also joined the EU in their renewal.
On the question regarding the veto in the EU Council, the leader of the Carroccio appropriately passed the ball to Conte.
The sanctions on Russia will be the test to understand if the current M5S-League executive is really serious.
