Italy PM sends European elections warning to EU critics - ‘They WON’T be re-elected!


ITALIAN Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte has hit back at criticism from the EU after europhiles rounded on him in a European Parliament speech, saying many who attacked him will be out of a job after May’s elections.

Mr Conte, the leader of Italy’s populist coalition government, addressed the Strasbourg assembly calling for a less austere European Union that is more in tune with people’s demands but faced a barrage of criticism from pro-Europe MEPs after his speech finished. He was attacked for being a “puppet” of his coalition partners Matteo Salvini and Luigi Di Maio and had to defend his commitment to EU integration which had been questioned since Italy’s last election. During the speech Mr Conte demanded more flexibility on eurozone budget rules, a key issue for Italy after their fiasco with the EU last year.

Italian senators reject call to lift Salvini’s immunity


ROME — An Italian Senate committee rejected a request to lift Interior Minister Matteo Salvini's immunity on Tuesday after prosecutors sought to investigate him for holding migrants on board a ship last year.

The committee voted 16 to 6 to dismiss the request to lift the League party leader's immunity, which would have allowed prosecutors to examine possible charges of abuse of power and the kidnapping of the 177 migrants, including children. The Diciotti vessel was stranded at sea for 10 days in August after Salvini declared all Italian ports closed.

The committee's rejection is not the final say on the matter, as there will still be a vote by the full Senate within 60 days, but the attempt to lift Salvini's immunity will likely also fail there: The League's government coalition partners, the 5Star Movement, have pledged to follow the results of a controversial online vote by their party members, which showed that about 60 percent are against lifting Salvini's immunity.

Italian right wins Sardinia vote, 5-Star fades


ROME (Reuters) - A right-wing coalition has won a regional vote on the Italian island of Sardinia, in an outcome that could spell trouble ahead for the 5-Star Movement, part of the ruling coalition in Rome, as European Parliament elections loom in May.

According to a projection after some 80 percent of the vote had been counted, Christian Solinas, the candidate from the rightwing bloc, had won around 48 percent in Sunday’s election for regional governor, well ahead of the incumbent center-left on 33 percent.
(…)
Sardinia is the sixth consecutive region or province to pass from the center-left to the right since the center-left Democratic Party (PD) was ousted from power at a national election in March, underscoring the PD’s ongoing crisis.

The polls had predicted a really tight race between Salvini's right-wing candidate Christian Solinas and the globalist, leftist, jew-controlled Democratic Party's Massimo Zedda, but the polls turned out to be full of shit since Solinas crushed all of his opponents.

5Stars take another big hit in regional Italian election


After an unusually long vote count, Christian Solinas, a senator from the Sardinian Action Party and the candidate supported by Matteo Salvini's far-right League, was proclaimed the winner of Sunday's election with around 47 percent of the vote. The center-left candidate, Cagliari Mayor Massimo Zedda, came in second with 34 percent, while the 5Stars' man, Francesco Desogus, came third on 11 percent.

The result is another big blow for the 5Stars after the Abruzzo regional election earlier this month, in which the populist party halved its vote share. The results were even worse in Sardinia, where the 5Stars' support plunged from 42 percent in the 2018 general election. It echoes the governing parties' performance in other regional elections and polling, which show the League picking up support while the 5Star Movement, which forms the other — bigger — half of the ruling coalition, continues to hemorrhage votes.
(...)
5Star Senator Paola Nugnes, one of the most vocal critics of party leader and Italian Deputy PM Luigi Di Maio, blamed "his leadership," which she said "must be called into question."

ANALYSIS: Salvini's League is in charge in Italy – these local elections prove it


One half of Italy's government trounced the other in Abruzzo and Sardinia. It's a sign which way the wind is blowing nationwide, writes Davide Vampa, lecturer in politics at Aston University.

February has been an important month in Italian politics. Elections took place in Abruzzo and Sardinia – two regions located in the south of the country. Both are “swing” constituencies, so the way they vote in regional elections provides important clues about changing national trends.

The elections were also seen as the first electoral test for the new governing coalition, which brings together Matteo Salvini’s League and the Five Star Movement (M5S) but is led by prime minister Giuseppe Conte.

But while the League performed strongly in both Abruzzo and Sardinia, the M5S suffered bruising defeats.

In both regions, the League led centre-right coalitions to victory, unseating the incumbent centre-left governments to install their own regional presidents.

In Abruzzo, the League doubled its support – from 13.8 percent in last year’s general election to 27.5 percent – becoming the largest political force. In Sardinia it won 11 percent of the vote. Even this latter result, though less dazzling, is historic because Salvini’s party has traditionally found very little traction in the south of Italy. It didn’t even run candidates in these two regions five years ago.

In fact the League used to be a regionalist party called the Northern League. Its main aim was to secure more autonomy for northern Italian regions. For a while, in the late 1990s, the party even campaigned for the independence of the north.

Its transformation into a nativist nationalist party, similar to the French National Front, started after 2013 under Salvini’s leadership. Today the party campaigns across the whole Italian territory with increasing success. It is probably the only case in Europe (and perhaps globally) of a regionalist party being able to radically change its territorial focus and become one of the main statewide parties.

The Turin–Lyon high-speed railway project is dominating the news in Italy right now:

Quote:
High-speed tunnel project divides Italy’s ruling populists


SAINT-MARTIN-LA-PORTE, France (AP) — A strategic European Union project to build a high-speed rail tunnel through the Alps, meant to speed journeys between France and Italy, could dead-end as Italy’s populists squabble.

On the French side, a 140-meter (460-foot) long rock-eating machine tunnels through the mountainside toward Italy at an average rate of nearly 20 meters (66 feet) a day. But on the Italian side, all is quiet: the construction site, long targeted by sabotaging protesters, is guarded by four law enforcement agencies, and work is limited to maintenance.

The survival of Italy’s increasingly shaky populist government could well depend on whether Italy restarts construction on the Turin-Lyon High Speed Train link, which it halted last summer. One party in the ruling government coalition is fiercely against the project, while the other is for it.

Italy’s internal standoff — pitting the 5-Star Movement, which has taken a stand against big infrastructure, against its pro-business League coalition partner — means France could wind up with a tunnel to nowhere. The uncertainties are also increasing tensions with the European Union, which is paying for 40 percent of the 8.6-billion-euro ($9.72 billion) project.
https://www.apnews.com/0bd70457176f46548b1f36bc7fb9c90c

Italian media pundits are actually saying that the government could collapse because of the two ruling parties' opposing standpoints on this issue.

Italy's government unravels further over high-speed rail dispute


Italy’s coalition government frayed further on Friday over the stalled high-speed rail line to France, with the League insisting it go ahead and the 5-Star Movement refusing to fund the next phase until the whole deal is renegotiated.

With a Monday deadline looming for contract bids to go out, League leader Matteo Salvini warned he was prepared to “go to the end” to prevent the project from being blocked.

Five-Star leader Luigi Di Maio rebuked him for the threat to bring down the government, arguing that the League agreed in their joint contract to renegotiate the terms of the rail line.
(...)
The two ruling parties have long been at odds over the project, which envisages a 57.5 kilometre tunnel link between Turin and Lyon. It’s part of an European Union project to connect southern Spain with eastern Europe.
(...)
The League backs the project as an infrastructure improvement sought by its northern entrepreneurial base; the 5-Stars have long been ideologically opposed and say the money could be better spent elsewhere.
(...)
“We’ve already spent money to dig a tunnel, I’m convinced that it’s better to spend more to finish it,” he tweeted, warning that the League would vote against any measure to block it.

The tensions underscore the fragility of the government before European Parliament elections in May, with polls showing the League ahead of the 5-Stars and being wooed by its longtime center-right partner, ex-Premier Silvio Berlusconi’s Forza Italia.
https://www.france24.com/en/20190309...d-rail-dispute

I can tell you with certainty that this is the biggest crisis that the current Italian government has faced since its inception.

As usual, it turned out that I was right because during the election campaign – when The League and Forza Italia were part of a large right-wing coalition – shitbag Berlusconi kept attacking and insulting his ally Salvini by saying that The League's stance on immigration was too extreme and would scare away voters (which was complete nonsense since it had the opposite effect), and when Salvini said that the Douma chemical attack was a false flag that was perpetrated by Assad's enemies, Berlusconi became upset and publicly told Salvini to shut up. (Berlusconi has always been a lackey of the warmongering neocon jews in Washington who constantly push for zionist wars for Pissrael.)

During this entire time, Salvini put up with Berlusconi's insults and obnoxious, bossy behavior; he never responded in kind and instead preferred to focus on the pressing issues affecting the Italian people, like poverty, unemployment, pensions – and of course the third-world invasion.

Thanks to Salvini's strength, courage, competence, gentlemanly behavior, maturity and sense of responsibility, The League's approval ratings have skyrocketed, whereas Forza Italia is on the verge of extinction, with opinion polls giving it an 8 percent approval rating. And I'm being generous here because according to some polls, it's as low as 5 percent.

There are articles from major Italian newspapers that have lots of details about how the old and disgusting shitbag Berlusconi would coerce young women into having sex with him, including anal sex, and sometimes the ordeal would take several hours because Berlusconi had trouble getting an erection due to his advanced age. Disgraceful as well as pathetic.

Italian media are reporting that Imane Fadil has been murdered. Who is Imane Fadil, you ask? She is one of the women who attended the infamous sex parties that were organized by the degenerate, hedonistic, opportunistic, globalist, pro-Israeli, anti-white politician and media mogul Silvio Berlusconi.

Apparently, she was writing a book about her encounters with Berlusconi, and now this poor woman has died a agonizing death after having been poisoned by "radioactive substances", according to Italian newspapers. Here's an English-language article about the case:

Quote:
Italy investigates mystery death of 'bunga bunga' guest


Imane Fadil, who attended Berlusconi parties, told lawyer she had been poisoned

Italian magistrates have opened an investigation into a possible murder after the mysterious death of a Moroccan model who was a regular guest at Silvio Berlusconi’s “bunga bunga” parties.

Imane Fadil, 33, died on 1 March, a month after being admitted to a Milan hospital with severe stomach pains. At the time she told friends and her lawyer that she had been poisoned. Her death was only reported on Friday.
(...)
Berlusconi was initially convicted in the case but ultimately acquitted after a judge ruled the media magnate could not have known the girl was a minor.

However, magistrates subsequently laid new charges against Berlusconi and other defendants, accusing them of bribing some of the women who attended the parties to keep them from telling the truth at the initial trial. They have denied the accusations.

Fadil was never accused of taking bribes. Italian newspapers reported that she was writing a book about her experiences and that the magistrates had obtained a copy of the manuscript after her death.

Join 100s of Americans in Italy - World’s #1 Anti-Globalist, Pro-Family Conference - Salvini to Speak - March 29-31, Verona


(...) The success of the WCF is reason for social conservatives to take heart, and to realize that the tide is, in fact, starting to turn in our favor. We still have a long way to go, but the pushback has started, and the WCF is THE event to learn about it.

Perhaps by luck, WCF, which was started and is led by American Christian conservatives, both Evangelicals and Catholics, had put in hard work over the last 20 years building relationships with their counterparts in Western and Eastern Europe, and when the now evident, extraordinary, anti-globalist, populist-nationalist, pro-Christian, pro-family global trend, or revolution really, broke out in earnest over the last decade, from Russia to France, WCF was right in the middle of it. They were in the right place at the right time, and they secured key government support for their events, with Viktor Orban of Hungary welcoming them to Budapest in 2017 and giving the keynote.

The Italian right-wing coalition, spearheaded by Matteo Salvini, has won yet another gubernatorial election, this time in Basilicata:

Quote:
Centre right wins in Basilicata, Bardi new governor


(ANSA) - Rome, March 25 - Centre-right candidate Vito Bardi is set to become the new governor of the southern region of Basilicata.

With the lion's share of the ballots counted after Sunday's regional election, Bardi has around 42% of the vote. He is followed by centre-left candidate Carlo Trerotola with around 32%. The 5-Star Movement's Antonio Mattia was third with around 20.6%, although the anti-establishment group, which ran alone without alliance partners, looks set to be the individual party with the most votes. The M5S was followed by Deputy Premier and Interior Minister Matteo Salvini's League, which is the driving force of the centre right and is on course to get close to 19% of the vote.

Although the M5S and the League are partners in the coalition government at national level, they are not allied in regional and local votes.

Salvini's right-wing coalition managed to win in Basilicata, a poor South Italian region that has been governed by leftists for 24 years. See, that's one of the most impressive things about Salvini: he's winning all over Italy, even in leftist strongholds. .

Thanks to Salvini, the Italian senate has finally approved a new law that protects decent, law-abiding citizens who are burglarized:

Quote:
Italy just made it easier to claim self-defence if you kill or injure an intruder


The Italian senate on Thursday signed into law a widened definition of legitimate self-defence, in line with a manifesto promise by Interior Minister Matteo Salvini.

"It's a very beautiful day -- finally, Italians' sacrosanct right to legitimate self-defence has been confirmed," said Salvini, who also serves as deputy prime minister.

"From today, miscreants will know it will be more difficult to be a burglar in Italy -- it will become a still more dangerous undertaking," Salvini said after the senate passed the bill by 201 votes to 38.
The legislation, passed on its third reading, will limit legal action against persons who fire on an intruder.

Previously, the law had required proof that an intruder posed an immediate physical threat to the householder. The new law renders defence legitimate in a person's home against a perceived threat of violence from someone trespassing on their property.

The law also offers free legal aid and defence counsel costs for those who kill or injure an intruder, then claim legitimate self-defence. In addition it toughens sentences for theft, burglary and shoplifting, while making release from custody in such cases conditional on payment of damages.
https://www.thelocal.it/20190328/italy-self-defence-law

In Italy, people who shoot intruders/burglars in self-defense are thrown in prison, and they're even forced to pay damages to the criminals who broke into their home or shop. Salvini's new law should put a stop to this grotesque travesty of justice.

Needless to say, the jews and their leftist lackeys are upset.

Some right-wing politicians have complained that this new law is a (slightly) watered-down version of the one that they wanted to see. That's probably true, but we have to keep in mind that Salvini's League is forced to govern with the left-leaning, incompetent shitbags of the Five Star Movement, so compromises occasionally have to be made. And this new law is still much, much better than the old one, so I would say that this is a victory for decent, law-abiding Italian citizens.

Some of the senators who belong to the lefty Five Star Movement voted against the law even though they had been instructed by their leader Luigi Di Maio to vote for it. And prominent Five Star Movement members often attack Salvini publicly even though their party forms a coalition government with him.

So that shows you what kind of people we're dealing with here.

Thousands join anti-abortion Congress of Families march in Verona


Several tens of thousands of people marched in support of the ultra-Conservative World Congress of Families on Sunday, on the final day of their conference in northern Italy.
(...)
Supporters travelled by train and coach from all over Italy to attend the march, which came a day after protesters staged their own demonstration denouncing the organisation's anti-abortion, anti-gay stance.
(...)
Italy legalised civil unions between people of the same sex in 2016. Salvini has however spoken out against gay couples being allowed to adopt. Founded in 1997 by the American Brian Brown, the World Congress of Families has held an annual meeting since 2012.
(...)
Previous meetings include one in Hungary, which enjoyed the patronage of the country's far-right Prime Minister Viktor Orban.

As well as Salvini, other speakers at this year's event include the President of Moldova Igor Dodon -- a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Hungary's ultra-conservative Families Minister Katalin Novak and a senior figure in the Russian Orthodox Church, Dmitri Smirnov, were also listed as speakers.

And two other Italian ministers were listed as speakers at the Congress: Lorenzo Fontana, Minister for Families and Disabilities and Education Minister Marco Busetti.
https://www.thelocal.it/20190331/ten...-abortion-meet

The jews and their lackeys in the Western media have spewed out so much hate against the attendees of the World Congress of Families, you would think that they're ISIS terrorists. Actually, that's a bad comparison since the jews have always supported ISIS:

Israel supports the Islamic State (IS, ISIS, ISIL, Daesh)

Revenge porn amendment OK'd by House


(ANSA) - Rome, April 2 - An amendment to a bill against violence against women setting prison terms of up to six years for revenge porn was approved by the House Tuesday after a row last week.

The vote was unanimous - 461 ayes and no nays.

The amendment was described as "united".

The opposition, both on the centre left and on the centre right, said they were satisfied and so they gave up on filing sub-amendments.
https://www.ansa.it/english/news/201...cf9a178d8.html

Wouldn't it be better if these women simply refrained from sending men naked pictures of themselves in the first place?

Just a thought.
