Washington, 31 Dec – Ahead of the European Championships in May, Steve Bannon he has already begun to move his pawns. With his The Movement, a sort of «Populist international», Trump's former strategist wants to offer assistance to all those sovereignist parties that intend to rebel against the Brussels bureaucracy. And Bannon has a completely unique model: «Soros and the others train action-oriented people. I use Soros as a model for many things and also for The Movement. I'm at 100% contrary to his ideology, but I always admire those who get results. One of the things we must apply ourselves to counter them is: fare, not just talk», Bannon declared in ainterview recently granted to Corriere della Sera.
At the newspaper in via Solferino, Steve Bannon also clarified the nature of the political academy he intends to set up in medieval monastery of Trisulti, in the province of Frosinone. An academy that Benjamin Harnwell, its trustee in Europe, described it as a «gladiator school for culture warriors». The former Trump strategist then explained that the academy is not aimed at "newly graduated kids, in a more mature students, dai twenty-seven to forty year olds. People who want to change careers, moving for example from non-profit to the media, to politics, to teaching. There will be one fusion of culture, history, economy, understanding media and social media, to create more traditional change agents". And the model is, precisely, l’Open Society on George Soros. Declined though, Obviously, in a sovereignist/populist sense.

Admirer since the beginning ofLega-M5S alliance, Bannon also indicates the Italian political subjects he wants to focus on in the European elections. The unknown, apparently, is represented by Five Stars, that is, if they will be part of the Movement: «It has not yet been determined. The two groups that we're focused on and really wanted to be a part of are Brothers of Italy and the League». The goal outlined by Bannon is aalliance between sovereignists and popular groups in the European Parliament: «There's a good chance that will happen, but it will depend on the numbers. The most important thing now is to win as many seats as possible. If you travel through Europe like I did, it is clear that history is on the side of the sovereignist parties. Let's think back to a year ago, before the Italian elections: the weight of Salvini it hadn't emerged yet, no one knew whether the Five Star Movement was capable of governing, Merkel e Macron they were popular. The Italian elections were the trigger, revealed that an alternative was possible. And Merkel is over now, incredible". That Bannon's Movement - which certainly does not act in a disinterested manner - is truly an "alternative", However, it is not yet clear. Not even a little.
