Becchi: «E invece io dico attenti a quei due che resteranno alleati a lungo»
by

THE OPINION
Luciano Tirinnanzi intervista Paolo Becchi su Panorama N. 34, 09/08/2018
«According to the authors, è in atto un passaggio dalla Seconda alla Terza Repubblica basato su un dato che – credo anch’io – non può essere contestato. The inability of the so-called "progressive" forces to serve the interests of workers and small and medium-sized businesses, in short, of the majority of Italians. […] I believe Becchi is right when in one of his articles on the "sovereignist revolution", collected now in this book, maintains that the opposition between "right" and "left" has now been overcome by that which in my opinion sees people and elites opposed. […] I want to give new impetus to popular sovereignty. “Italians first” means nothing more than this. They left us a country with little hope for the future and with few smiles. Rebuilding it won't be easy. But I promise you that I will give it my all".
It is an extract from the preface signed by the Minister of the Interior and Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini, which baptizes the political essay by Paolo Becchi and Giuseppe Palma, From the Second to the Third Republic, appena uscito per Paesi edizioni (304 pp., 12 euro). A book that, first, recounts the birth of the Lega-M5s government and frames it as a definitive overcoming of the political past. Ma è davvero così? We asked Professor Becchi, first ideologist of the Cinquestelle and now closer to the positions of the League.
«Il passaggio dalla Seconda alla Terza Repubblica è avvenuto senza coinvolgere la Costituzione, therefore it is partly an improper definition, but which nevertheless tells of the exhaustion of a political process that began in the 1990s. As I write in the book, il suo aspetto innovatore è nella sintesi tra sovranismo identitario, that of Salvini's League, and social sovereignty, proposed instead by Di Maio and the Cinquestelle. Non a caso l’uno si è preso il dicastero dell’Interno e l’altro quello del Lavoro. Terza Repubblica significa avere un governo che sta facendo nascere qualcosa di nuovo, without throwing the constitutional rules to the wind". Read More

Matthew Castagna: "Cattolici tra Europeismo e Populismo" – The challenge to nihilism
by

Of Lucia Rezzonico
Yesterday, our manager Matthew Castagna premiered his book “CATHOLICS AND BETWEEN Europeanism POPULISM – The challenge to nihilism” (SOLFANELLI editions pag. 243) at the national broadcaster, also visible abroad on satellite, Italy channel, host of the show “News Today” of the conductor Gianluca Versace.
Together with him, a well-known forty-year-old communist from Padua, the commentator Aldo Bianchini, the most conciliar journalist and writer Luciano Lincetto and the area beat singer of a sort “hippie left” Gigi Barrichello.

The guests of yesterday morning's episode: Chestnut, Bianchini, Barrichello, Lynx

It certainly cannot be said that Castagna played “at home”, anything but. But he himself explains to us the reason for choosing to go out with her first presentation in this context: “Today television is still, in Italy, the most used means of communication, as demonstrated by expert data and the audience, very high, obtained from the episode, which was followed by an avalanche of orders for the book. I specify that two types of presentations or conferences can be held: where we talk “in house”, and it is certainly a useful method. But if the aim is to reach those who don't think like you, the means is that of cross-examination. This time I was offered this and I gladly accepted. I have another one, simile, at stake, in Verona and three others, in September. Starting from October I am available for further presentations, always writing to christusrex@libero.it“. Read More

“Uterus for rent and similar horrors absolutely not, we will defend the natural family founded on the union between a man and a woman”, Salvini said in an interview…
In an interview with the Catholic online newspaper New daily compass, the Minister of the Interior Matteo Salvini he has intervened on numerous issues concerning the relationship between politics and the religious world.
Salvini, among other things, has clarified that it wants to change the wording with which parents are currently indicated on the identity card. No more “parent 1” and “parent 2”, but a return to the more classic "mother" and "father".
“Last week I was informed that on the website of the Ministry of the Interior, on the forms for the electronic identity card there were 'parent 1' and 'parent 2'. I immediately had the site modified by restoring the definitions 'mother' and 'father'. It's a little thing, a small sign, but it is certain that I will do everything possible to the Minister of the Interior and which is in any case provided for by the Constitution" Read More

The League of Brothers of Italy
by

FIFTH COLUMN
Of Marcello Veneziani
When Salvini and Meloni were not yet born, was born in Italy, from the womb of The Bourgeois, the League of Brothers of Italy. The father was naturally Leo Longanesi. He dreamed of giving birth a national movement, conservative, popular and bourgeois, that he wasn't neo-fascist, liberal let alone Christian Democrat. But it was seriously post-fascist, since he noticed Longanesi: “Our democracy has only one evil, there is only one defect: that of existing as an opponent of fascism; to live it finds no other justification than that of fighting a dead fascism with Mussolini. Thus we witness a struggle of vertical corpses against a horizontal corpse.". Fantastic. It was the 1955 e 63 years later we are at the same point, even with the grillini in government.
Then and now, there was a need to invent oneself, a movement that represented a large and excluded world, or poorly represented, antagonist to the left, to clericalism and progressivism. We were in the Christian Democratic era, the communists had not yet been admitted into the antechamber of governments, Regions did not exist, Italy was recovering greatly at least in terms of well-being, he had found an acceptable compromise with the past based on oblivion, there was an economic boom and Italians were giving birth a lot, especially in the south. What should we say now, that the world has changed, we are in the European Union, debt is skyrocketing, the regions have destroyed us, we are full of migrants and empty of young people and elites, Italy is duller than then, they no longer have children and the dead outnumber those born? That we need a League of the Brothers of Italy... But the League exists and, if within a month the mood of this psychotic country still doesn't change, it is now even the first party. At his side, small and vainly looking for his visibility and his role, there is what remains of AN and the MSI, called Brothers of Italy, actually led by a sister from Rome, good and incisive on TV.

Who from Rai hurts, of Rai perishes

Who from Rai hurts, of Rai perishes
Source: Marcello Veneziani
I don't know how the drama about the president of Rai will end, if Foa will remain at the helm anyway, perhaps as a senior advisor as happened in 2004 to Berlusconi's Alberoni or if Giampaolo Rossi takes over from him, competent in RAI and new media, in discontinuity with the previous Rai domination and in harmony with Foa's ideas. Maybe we'll figure it out today. But on a political level one thing can already be said: the final veto on a signature of Il Giornale as president of Rai is the worst conclusion of Berlusconi's parable. End up in resentment, burning Foa, align with the PD and the scattered left, separate from the League and the Brothers of Italy, only show the ability to cause failure, it is a miserable epilogue for Berlusconi. That decline that has been going on for years now, has reached a point of no return and breaking of B. with his people and his allies.
Nobody expected Forza Italia to align itself with the yellow-green government. That's right, and even useful, that Forza Italia maintains a critical line towards the economic choices of the Grillini, Di Maio's reforms, amateurism and underlying punitive pauperism, the grillosinistri type Fico or the half socks in power, genus Raggi. That opposition line responds to the nature of his voters, to the mandate received and to its economic and political line.

Behind the scenes on the Rai presidency
by

While Marcello Foa declares to remain in his capacity “senior advisor”, the usually well-informed D'Agostino tells some interesting background, of which we were also partly aware (n.d.r.):
SALVINI'S HOSTILE OBSERVATION FOR "FORZA ITALIA": THE DOORS OF THE LEAGUE ARE OPEN FOR LOCAL ADMINISTRATORS WHO DECIDE TO QUIT BERLUSCONI – THE CAV, WHO WOULD HAVE WANTED TO MEDIATE ON FOA, HE WAS WITH HIS BACK TO THE WALL: TAJANI HAS THREATENED TO RESIGN IN CASE OF SURRENDER TO SALVINI – AND WITH HIM, IN THE FRONT ROW, GHEDINI WAS AGAINST THE LEAGUE – THE RISK OF APPOINTMENTS

Now the doors of the League will open, indeed they will open wide for the local administrators of Forza Italia. And according to the Northern League there are many who are knocking on Matteo Salvini's door, the "Captain" who has his political sails full of good electoral winds. While they see the floppy blue ones, with l’ Admiral of the’ former blue ship in disarmament, listless, little interested in the opposition naval battle in the yellow-green waters. So far l’ agreement between Silvio Berlusconi and Matteo Salvini was not to go to war: no openings to parliamentarians, to regional and municipal councilors. Read More

Fontana: «I apply the law to the children of gay couples, and to women I say don't have abortions"
by

(ImagoEconomica)In an interview with La Verità, the Minister for Family and Disabilities also takes sides against the rented womb. And he says he respects Orbàn and Putin: «An earthquake at the Europeans». The Magistry replica: «Children are all equal and have the same rights»

Of Silvia Morosi
«It is not possible to recognize the children of same-sex couples born abroad thanks to practices prohibited in Italy such as surrogacy. The ban must be enforced, avoiding that the use of these practices abroad translates into circumventing the ban in Italy". This is how Lorenzo Fontana expressed himself in an interview given to the newspaper La Verità founded and directed by Maurizio Belpietro. The Minister for Family and Disabilities who, since the beginning of his mandate he has been criticized for the positions expressed on homosexuality (when he said "homosexual families do not exist"), traditional family (when he spoke out against the recognition of the children of gay families") and other topics, he covered many topics, like abortion: to encourage the birth rate it is necessary to intervene by "correcting the distortions of the tax system. It is not fair that families who have children are treated for tax purposes the same as families who have none. This effectively penalizes single-income families and leads to children being perceived as a burden, an expense".

“Within a few months this government will end”, Silvio prophesied to his parliamentary remnants gathered in Montecitorio. Change the name of the party, it will now be called “Altra Italia”. “A new beginning awaits us!”, he reassured them. Where does he get so much optimism from?, with his 8 little percent left? The point is that Matteo Renzi said the same thing: “Salvini? It will not stand up to political and judicial pressure.", to his, in circumstances frighteningly similar to that of Berlusconi: he gathered his people in a Roman restaurant to revive them. «Enough whining. We have no reason to be discouraged. The government will fall soon. We have to be ready.".

Bannon wants to conquer the EU with The Movement
by

Notice to sailors. Bannon wants to conquer the EU with The Movement
Of Francesco Bechis

Donald Trump's former chief strategist confides the details of the new European populist party to The Daily Beast. Inside Le Pen and Farage, but a place of honor is reserved for Matteo Salvini
A populist army marching towards Brussels to obtain a majority in the European Parliament and defeat "the Davos party" once and for all. A Foundation for populists, that gives life to the electoral campaign for the European elections of 2019 and puts together the crème of the crème of the Italian anti-establishment, Austrian, tedesco, French, British. An organization that challenges Open Society with foil, the billionaire's pro-migrant foundation George Soros, the six-headed Hydra for lovers of conspiracies and plots. The dream of Steve Bannon begins to take shape. After Trump's former chief strategist stormed the White House, dishonorably dismissed from Tycoon, he worked 24 hours a day to repeat the experiment in Europe. And if a widespread cliché dictates that the sequel to a film is unlikely to achieve the same success as the original, Sloppy Steve's European challenge may be the exception that proves the rule.
The Daily Beast, after hearing Bannon, revealed the first details. It will be called The Movement, it will be a right-wing party (but he will not despise the contribution of different voices, as long as the enemy remains the same: the European elites), will have its headquarters in Brussels and is already looking for staff to get the ball rolling. Money won't be a problem. Bannon doesn't care that much, he is still in disbelief that the Leave Brexit campaign achieved its goal with a budget of 7 million pounds: “When they told me that the spending limit was 7 millions I told him but you understand 70 millions?? Con 7 millions don't buy anything from us. Don't buy Facebook data from us, you don't buy advertising from us, Nothing".
In London, in the luxurious Mayfair hotel, the meeting that marked the beginning of the new political adventure. Together with Bannon and Raheem Kassam, former chief of staff of Nigel Farage and director of Breitbart, a large delegation from European anti-establishment movements showed up. Farage himself was there, Jerome Rivière of the National Rally (Ex Front National), Filip Dewinter of the Flemish Flemish Interest, the Republican congressman Paul Gosar (envoy of the very powerful Freedom Caucus, group of pro-Trump conservatives that Bannon wants to have on his side).
And then not exactly reassuring faces, Prominent exponents of ultra-right parties such as Sweden Democrats and True Finns who were initially supposed to stay out but at the last minute Bannon brought back because they were "perfect for the role". There is no news of the League's involvement in the London meeting. There is little chance, however, that the most hated strategist in America will not set the table with the most delicious dish, Matteo Salvini's League which is climbing the polls and conquers the spotlight every day with rejections at sea. Bannon has real admiration for the Italian Interior Minister. And if a place in the leadership of the Movement for Le Pen and Farage is already secured, it is unlikely that the Northern League secretary will remain out, which at the moment has a very different specific weight and knows a little about the dynamics of Strasbourg. Matteo Salvini's words in a very recent interview with the Washington Post dispel the doubts, to which he said he wanted to "put together a group that obtains a majority in the European Parliament".
The time has been ripe for a while now. La debacle del Front National, the ultra-right movement led by Marine Le Penin which Bannon had placed so much hope, seemed to have removed once and for all the danger of a populist international ready to take over Brussels. But in just under a year the rise of Eurosceptic forces in Austria, Holland and Germany and the sensational exploits of the League and the Five Star Movement 4 March they reopened the game. Meanwhile, Bannon has lost two jobs (at the White House and others Breitbart news, the all-news station dear to the far-right that he himself founded) and gained a new one, no less profitable: put in the time, money and expertise at the service of a new European populist movement.
We got wind of it two months ago, when he stopped in Rome on a European tour worthy of a rock star, exploding in an irrepressible enthusiasm for the imminent birth of a yellow-green government, fulfillment of a dream that Bannon would have liked to realize overseas, by his own admission, combining the impetuosity of Donald Trump with the charisma of Bernie Sanders. Not bad, life offered him another opportunity, and this time too the wind is blowing in his favor. Tic-tac, the hands run, the European elections are getting closer and the eurosceptics have a wild card on their side. Who wants a different Europe, liberals, moderate is warned: To stop Cyclone Bannon, something more will be needed than a few blue-starred flags on the streets of Brussels.
