Because Salvini has become everyone's target

Enemies and allies attack him with demonstrations, banners, judicial investigations. Objective: sabotage the success at the European Championships

Even the teenage idol, the grumpy singer-songwriter of genius, turned against him. The young Matteo, in the long summers in Val Rendena, he picked up the guitar. In front of holiday friends, he narrowed his eyes before attacking: “I don't know what his face was, not even what his name was...", The Locomotive by Francesco Guccini. The anarchist train driver who throws a convoy onto a train for gentlemen in ties. Salvini, with due ideological caution, he feels animated by the same motion. The Emilian artist, but, he didn't take it well: “Even Dante was read by dogs and pigs” he blurted out. To underline yet another sidereal distance from the uncomfortable admirer.

This is the wind that blows. Protesters, allies, premier, euro minister, magistrates, journalists, cardinals, writers and songwriters. All throws in rest: against the hated invader.
Italian right-thinking cannot be touched. Alarms, so. The denigrating means justify the Machiavellian end. That is: the upcoming European vote.

Anti-Salvinism has reached unexplored heights. The revived Beppe Grillo also climbed up there, founder of the Five Star Movement: «I would kick him to do his job at the Interior Ministry». Meanwhile Luigi Di Maio, leader of the Movement and government partner, he gloats. Better: it gets worse. A mockery a day: before and after meals. To try to escape from the corner where the Minister of the Interior had kicked him, populated by plummeting polls and identity crises.
The stura is the «medieval» Family day, celebrated by Salvini: «In Verona there is a right wing of losers» says Di Maio insolently. Then, the flood. With a single purpose: attempt to weaken the consensus of others. Reproaches: «The League stops with the guns». Intimations: «Enough ultradest». Be warned: «Let's put an end to right-wing extremism and caste-like behavior». Blames: «It is clear that there is now a corruption emergency, which concerns all parties.
