Up until now, the right-wing leader, interior minister and deputy prime minister Matteo Salvini has refused to allow these African savages to disembark in Italy, but the pressure that the jews and their lackeys are putting on Salvini is enormous, and even his coalition partners of the Five Star Movement (which includes the prime minister Conte, who is a weak-willed lackey that was handpicked by the Five Star Movement's leader Di Maio) have turned on him by going over his head and agreeing to take in some of the rapeugees.

This is an outrageous betrayal of the contract that Salvini's League and Di Maio's Five Star Movement signed when they formed a coalition government last summer. The deal was that Di Maio would let Salvini take care of the rapeugee problem, and in turn Salvini would let Di Maio implement a bunch of damaging leftist policies, like the poorly thought-out welfare program called "guaranteed income" or "citizen's income", which the Five Star Movement irresponsibly promised to provide to their poor voters in the southern part of the country.

Salvini kept his end of the bargain by allowing the implementation of this welfare program, even though his party lost a lot of support because of it (since The League's voters in the rich, productive, industrious North aren't too thrilled about handing over their money to poor, unemployed South Italians). And the Five Star Movement repays Salvini by stabbing him in the back like this. Absolutely disgraceful.

Salvini has publicly denounced his coalition partners' outrageous betrayal, and he has demanded an emergency meeting with them tonight. In my opinion, Salvini should kick these untrustworthy, incompetent bums to the curb by dissolving this unnatural coalition government (which he has the power to do) and demand a new election. Unfortunately though, it looks like this option is off the table, at least according to major Italian media outlets.

Here's the umpteenth reminder of why the Jewropean Jewnion is so despised:

EU moves to outlaw phrases such as 'man-made', 'manpower' and 'mankind' in favour of 'nonsense' gender-neutral terms under new PC guidelines for translators


The European Union has moved to suppress everyday phrases such as 'manpower' and 'mankind' and replace them with gender-neutral terms.

Staff in Strasbourg have been told to reduce references to 'women or men' in a new rule book called Gender Neutral Language In The European Parliament.

The new guidelines are aimed at EU translators tasked with converting documents between the different languages spoken and written by the 28 member states.

The online document suggests words such as 'chairman' be replaced by 'chairperson', and 'policeman' or 'policewoman' by substituted for 'police officer'.

It also recommends the word 'stewardess' by avoided in preference of 'flight attendant', and 'principal' by used instead of 'headmaster' or 'headmistress'.

'Humanity' should replace 'mankind' and 'man-made' should be substituted for 'synthentic' or 'artificial', it adds.

Importing third-world drug dealers, rapists and murderers, promoting feminism, homosexuality and transsexualism... How is this good for Europeans?

Answer: it's not. But it is good for the jews who are constantly undermining their Western host countries.

Leftist terrorist and convicted murderer Cesare Battisti has been arrested, and will finally be extradited to Italy:

Cesare Battisti: Italian ex-militant arrested in Bolivia


A former communist militant who Brazil's new president had vowed to extradite has been detained in Bolivia, a Brazilian official said.

Italian Cesare Battisti is wanted for four murders in Italy during the 1970s, which he denies committing.

Battisti spent years in Brazil as a refugee, backed by former left-wing President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

But far-right President Jair Bolsonaro, who took office on 1 January, had pledged to send him back to Italy.

Filipe Martins, a senior aide on international affairs to President Bolsonaro, tweeted that Battisti "will be soon brought to Brazil, from where he will probably be sent to Italy to serve a life sentence".

Brazilian politician Eduardo Bolsonaro, one of the president's sons, tweeted to Italy's interior minister Matteo Salvini: "Brazil is no longer a land of bandits. The "little gift" is coming."

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-46854659

Battisti fled Italy and spent several decades in France, Mexico and Brazil, where crooked, leftist, anti-white governments protected him an allowed him to lead a comfortable life writing crime novels and spending his days at the beach.

The leftist terrorist and convicted murderer Cesare Battisti has the support of the famous "French" jew Bernard-Henri Lévy:

Life on the run ends for Cesare Battisti, who is wanted for murder


Convicted as a murderer for bloodshed in the 1970s, former leftwing Italian activist Cesare Battisti, who was caught in Bolivia, has spent almost four decades on the run, detailing his experiences in a string of acclaimed thrillers.
(...)
Convicted in absentia to life behind bars by an Italian court, he has spent years on the road, travelling from Mexico to France and Brazil, despite regular threats of extradition.

Battisti was convicted by an Italian court in 1993 and sentenced to life for involvement in four murders in the 1970s when he was a leftwing activist.
(...)
Arrested in Milan in 1979 and sentenced for belonging to an armed gang, Battisti managed to escape from prison near Rome two years later, fleeing first to France and then to Mexico in 1982.

Following a pledge by France's then socialist president Francois Mitterand not to extradite former Italian activists who had turned their back on their past, Battisti returned to France in 1990 and began his writing career.

Three years later, a Milan court convicted him in absentia of personally killing two Italian police officers, participating in the murder of a butcher, and planning an attack on a jeweller who died in a shoot-out that left his 14-year-old son in a wheelchair.
(...)
Despite the support of several high-profile figures, including best-selling crime novelist Fred Vargas and philosopher Bernard-Henri Levy, Battisti's legal appeals were rejected.

Bernard-Henri Lévy (/leɪˈviː/; French: [bɛʁnaʁ ɑ̃ʁi levi]; born 5 November 1948) is a French public intellectual, media personality, and author. Often referred to in France simply as BHL,[2] he was one of the leaders of the "Nouveaux Philosophes" (New Philosophers) movement in 1976. The Boston Globe has said that he is "perhaps the most prominent intellectual in France today".[3] His opinions, political activism and publications have also been the subject of several controversies over the years.[4][5][6][7] (...) Lévy was born in 1948 in Béni Saf, French Algeria, to an affluent Algerian Jewish family.

Bolsonaro sends captured Italian fugitive Cesare Battisti to Salvini as 'a little gift'


(CNN) A leftist Italian fugitive has been detained in Bolivia and will be sent to Italy as "a little gift" from far-right Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro to Italy's hardline Interior Minister Matteo Salvini.
Cesare Battisti, a 64-year-old former communist militant, was wanted for four murders in the 1970s, which he has denied.
(...)
"Finally justice will be made to the Italian assassin and companion of ideals of one of the most corrupt governments that have ever existed in the world (PT)," he added, a reference to the party of left-wing former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who had allowed Battisti to remain in Brazil.

Bolsonaro, inaugurated as President on 1 January, had vowed to capture Battisti and see his extradition through.
(...)
"A little gift is on its way," Brazilian MP for Sao Paulo and one of Bolsonaro's sons, Eduardo, tweeted to Italian Interior minister Mateo Salvini on Sunday, after news of the arrest became public. "Brazil is no longer a land of criminals," he added.

The development is likely to boost relations between the two far-right politicians, both of whom were swept to power on hardline, populist platforms in 2018.

Salvini hailed the news on Facebook on Sunday, writing: "My heartfelt thank you to President Jair Messias Bolsonaro and to the new Brazilian government for the changed political climate which, along with a positive international setting in which Italy has become a protagonist, have made possible this long awaited success."

EU REVOLUTION: Italy vows to TAKE BRUSSELS ON in European elections battle


ITALY's Deputy Prime Minister Luigi Di Maio has vowed to challenge Brussels in the forthcoming European Parliament elections, warning his party will transform the EU and bring "power" to the people.

On Monday, Mr Di Maio and former Italian MP Alessandro Di Battista travelled to Strasbourg, France to kickstart Italy's Five Star Movement campaign ahead of the elections taking place from 23 to 26 May. The Deputy Prime Minister has pledged to form an anti-establishment political group within the EU, with hopes to revamp the bloc's fiscal rules. Speaking to journalists outside the European Parliament yesterday, he said: "We have already met some groups in Brussels, and we are in contact with others. "I believe that we have the numbers to build a European parliamentary group that’s neither right nor left, which is based on the principle of a more participatory and direct democracy, a democracy more linked to labour and social rights, which means to stop taking away from the poorest and giving to the richest, but doing the opposite."

He added: "There are two parliaments, one in Brussels and one here. And this is what we must cancel as soon as possible."

The Five Star Movement leader added: "What you see is not only a waste of money but also a symbol of arrogance coming from those who waged war against us on the Italian budget."

Here's the latest example of the sickness that jews are spreading in Italy:

League senators furious over transgender Q&A with kids


The far-right League’s famously hardline conservative senator Simone Pillon was left outraged after a transgender actor and former politician spoke to schoolchildren about gender identity for a TV show.

Actor Vladimir Luxuria spoke to the group of 9-12 year olds for RAI3 show Alla Lavagna! (At the Blackboard), on which adults are quizzed by a classroom full of youngsters, often on controversial or "adult" themes like politics, religion and now, sexuality.
(...)
Luxuria told the children of the "deep sadness" she'd felt as an adolescent, being born a boy but identifying strongly as female.

Pillon reportedly slammed the Q&A session as “shameful indoctrination” and said Luxuria “should go and tell her fairytale somewhere else, definitely not in a school with kids in front of the cameras.”

He said he would be filing a complaint about the contents of the show with the broadcaster’s parliamentary oversight committee.
(...)
It's no surprise that the party, which rules in coalition with the Five Star Movement, has reacted so strongly to the programme.

The League has given conservative Catholics several prominent government roles, notably new Families Minister Lorenzo Fontana, who upon his appointment swiftly declared that same-sex parents "don't exist at the moment, as far as the law is concerned" and expressed his preference for what he called "natural" families with one mother and one father.

Salvini meanwhile has pushed for the wording to be changed on childrens' identity cards from "parents" to "mother and father". But his attempt to give preference to heterosexual couples was blocked by data protection rules.
(...)
While Italy does not recognise gay marriage or the parental rights it would guarantee, at a local level various Italian cities have begun allowing same-sex couples to legally register their children to both parents, a move towards de facto acknowledgement.

Italy scores poorly when it comes to LGBT rights, particulary with equality and non-discrimination, according to rights group Rainbow Europe.

https://www.thelocal.it/20190121/lea...r-qa-with-kids

The transsexual in question, Vladimir Luxuria, might not be a jew, but most of Italy's "LGBT" propaganda comes from the country's jew-controlled media. Let me give you an example of what I'm talking about. In the following article from the well-known weekly news magazine L'Espresso, the journalist Roberto Saviano attacks Russia over its law that prohibits homosexual propaganda, and he tries to smear Putin by comparing him to Stalin:

Putin come Stalin sulla legge anti-gay

http://espresso.repubblica.it/archiv...i-gay-1.125643

As I have mentioned in some of my previous posts, the infamous anti-Italian, pro-rapeugee, pro-homosexual shitbag Roberto Saviano is a jew:

Son of Luigi Saviano, a Neapolitan doctor, and Miriam Haftar, a Ligurian of Jewish origins,[14][15][16]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roberto_Saviano





And L'Espresso is owned by the crooked media mogul Carlo De Benedetti, who is also a jew (and who should be in prison because of his crimes):

Born into a wealthy Jewish family
(...)
In 1993, during the Mani Pulite (Clean Hands) political-corruption investigations, Carlo De Benedetti was arrested and admitted to having paid a 10 billion Italian lira bribe to government parties, to obtain a purchase order from the Italian Postal Service for obsolete teleprinters and computers. In May of that year, he was officially put under investigation, but De Benedetti never went to trial for this episode, the statute of limitations having expired.[21][22]
(...)
De Benedetti became deputy chairman of the Italian bank Banco Ambrosiano in 1981, by acquiring 2% of the capital, but left after only 61 days.[6][23] In April 1992, Carlo De Benedetti and 32 other people were convicted of fraud by a Milan court in connection with the collapse of the bank.[24] Benedetti was sentenced to six years and four months in prison,[24] but the sentence was overturned in April 1998, by the Court of Cassation.[25]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlo_De_Benedetti

Another famous pro-homosexual propagandist in Italy is the jewish journalist and TV host Gad Lerner:

Gad Eitan Lerner noto semplicemente come Gad Lerner (in ebraico: גד איתן לרנר‎?; Beirut, 7 dicembre 1954) è un giornalista, conduttore televisivo e saggista italiano.

Jews have always led the smear campaign against people who want to preserve traditional Western values.

Here's the latest example of the sickness that jews are spreading in Italy:

This is the transsexual TV personality and politician Vladimir Luxuria (he's Italian, despite the Slavic first name):

As I said in my previous post, jews are responsible for this disgusting situation.

Thank you for posting that video, Hugo. The security decree that Salvini was talking about became law a couple of months ago (and I wrote about it in my other thread about Italy):

Salvini's anti-migrant security decree becomes law in Italy


The new package of laws came into force yesterday, removing humanitarian protection and making it more difficult to obtain Italian citizenship.

Italy yesterday formally adopted the anti-migrant and security decree, despite fierce criticism from opponents.

The Decree-Law on Immigration and Security, pushed by far-right League leader and interior minister Matteo Salvini, abolishes humanitarian protection status for migrants and makes it easier to strip migrants of Italian citizenship.

https://www.thelocal.it/20181129/sal...s-law-in-italy

Despicable, anti-Italian, leftist mayors have stated that they will refuse to abide by it. In other words, they're willing to break the law in order to protect "refugees" (read: third-world drug dealers, rapists and murderers):

Italian mayors rebel against hardline interior minister Matteo Salvini over asylum seeker law


A group of Italian mayors has rebelled against Matteo Salvini, the country’s hardline interior minister, by refusing to implement stringent new laws on the treatment of asylum seekers.

The mayors of Palermo, Naples, Florence and Parma said that a controversial security law, passed by the populist coalition in November, violates the basic rights of migrants and refugees.

That earned him a rebuke from Mr Salvini, whose policy of closing ports to migrant rescue boats has proved popular among a large section of the Italian electorate.

“With all the problems there are in Palermo, the mayor gets it into his head to stage civil disobedience on immigrants," said Mr Salvini, who is also deputy prime minister and leader of The League, the hard-Right party that governs in alliance with the Five Star Movement.

“Mayors on the Left should be thinking about their citizens who are in economic difficulty, not illegal migrants.”

He accused the mayors, some of them members of the opposition Democratic Party, of trying to overturn a law that had been passed by parliament.

“The security decree, a law of good sense and civilisation, was approved by the government and parliament, and signed by the president of the republic," he said.

He threatened to choke off government funding to cities that refused to impose the new law and said the mayors could face legal proceedings.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/201...nister-matteo/

Salvini is right: the shitbag mayors of Naples and Palermo should drop the pro-rapeugee nonsense and start focusing on improving their infamous, run-down, crime-ridden mafia cities instead.

Hundreds evicted as Italy closes its second-largest migrant centre




Amid tears and protests, Italian authorities are in the process of evacuating some 500 people from a reception centre near Rome after the government scrapped residency rights it used to offer asylum seekers.

"I found a family here, I worked with the parish priest, I helped with mass, I went to school," said Nigerian Anthony Ehikwe, one of hundreds of migrants being expelled from Italy's second-largest migrant centre. "And now I do not even have the time to say goodbye."

Italian authorities are this week removing migrants from the reception centre at Castelnuovo di Porto, just north of Rome, after Interior Minister Matteo Salvini's tough anti-migrant decree became law.

"You can change immigration policies but you can't just throw people out into the street like that," said an angry Riccardo Travaglini, mayor of this town of 9,000 people.

"Here, we've done a lot to welcome people and, within a few hours, they decide to dismantle our community."

Salvini to Macron: 'Stop Letting Terrorists Freely Drink Champagne in France'


Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini, known for his hardline anti-migration stance, was previously involved in a war of words with French President Emmanuel Macron over denying entry to a vessel stranded in international waters with hundreds of migrants onboard.

Matteo Salvini has called on French President Emmanuel Macron to detain and hand over dozens of Italian fugitive militants who are believed to have been hiding in France for decades.

“I think it is time to write to the French president to ask him to stop allowing terrorists who have killed Italians to go around free and drink champagne in France”, Salvini said.

Italy’s anti-immigration leader Salvini faces KIDNAPPING TRIAL over hardline policy


ITALY’S deputy prime minister Matteo Salvini faces “up to 15 years of jail” for preventing 177 asylum-seekers saved by an Italian boat to disembark to one of the nation’s safe ports.

Far-right Lega leader Mr Salvini was put under investigation by prosecutors in the southern city of Agrigento, Sicily, in August last year. In late summer, the interior minister didn’t allow the 177 migrants aboard the Italian coastguard ship Diciotti docked at the Catania harbour to leave the boat in a bid to force other EU member states to immediately take in the asylum-seekers, most of which came from Eritrea. Now, the Agrigento court wants to put Mr Salvini on trial for stranding for six days migrants already weakened by a turmoiled journey by the sea.

France recalls ambassador to Italy over Rome’s ‘repeated attacks’


France recalled its ambassador in Rome after what Paris described as “repeated, baseless attacks” from the ruling Italian parties.

“France has been, for several months, the target of repeated, baseless attacks and outrageous statements,” France’s foreign ministry said in a statement Thursday.

The ministry added that such attacks are "unprecedented" since World War II.

“Having disagreements is one thing, but manipulating the relationship for electoral aims is another,” the statement said.

https://www.politico.eu/article/fran...eated-attacks/

Bullshit. It's the jew-controlled French government that's attacking Italy, not vice versa. Globalist jew-lackey Macron has insulted members of the Italian government by saying that they're "vomit-inducing", and he has compared them to lepers. And as if that's not enough, the French authorities have dumped their third-world immigrants in Italy by having police vans cross the border and dump the rapeugees in the Italian woods. (I've written about this in some of my previous posts.)

Italy's Di Maio defends French 'yellow vests' visit as ties fray


Italy's deputy prime minister Luigi Di Maio defended his unannounced visit with anti-government protesters in France, which has sparked the biggest crisis between France and Italy since the end of World War II.

Di Maio accused French governments on both the left and right of pursuing ultraliberal policies that have "increased citizens’ insecurity and sharply reduced their spending power", in a letter to French daily Le Monde.

"This is why I wanted to meet with 'yellow vest' representatives ... because I don't believe that Europe's political future lies with parties on the right or left, or with so-called 'new' parties that in reality follow tradition," he said.

Di Maio's visit with members of the yellow-vest list for the coming European Parliament elections and other leaders drew a sharp rebuke from Paris, which on Thursday recalled its ambassador to Rome for consultations.
(...)
Relations between the two capitals, usually close allies, have deteriorated sharply since Di Maio's Five Star Movement and Salvini's far-right League formed the European Union's first populist-only coalition government in June last year.

Success for Italy's rightwing parties in Abruzzo local elections


Italy’s rightwing coalition triumphed in Abruzzo’s local elections this weekend, handing the regional senator post to Brothers of Italy and giving a boost to the League.

Italy's far-right League also triumphed over its Five Star Movement (M5S) coalition partner in a regional vote seen as a test of the parties’ strength.

The local election in Abruzzo, a region east of Rome, was the first in which M5S and the League have been pitted against each other since they formed their uneasy national government coalition last June.
(...)
The vote in the Abruzzo region laid bare the difficulties for the Five Star Movement (M5S), which was the country's leading party at last year's general election but has seen its popularity recede since taking power in an uneasy coalition with the League.

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.

EU CIVIL WAR: Verhofstadt sparks Italy FURY with astonishing 'PUPPET’ attack


ITALY’S Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte has warned EU lawmakers about their use of language as he hit back at a senior MEP who dismissed him as a “puppet” and accused him of bowing to Vladimir Putin.

The nasty spat unfolded in the European Parliament on Tuesday and escalated on Twitter, with Brexit negotiator Guy Verhofstadt attacking Mr Conte as he made his maiden speech in Strasbourg after being appointed leader of a populist coalition last June. Tensions flared when the Belgian MEP turned on Mr Conte, accusing him of being subject to the power of his deputies Matteo Salvini and Luigi Di Maio. Mr Verhofstadt said: “I wonder how much longer you will be the puppet moved by Salvini and Di Maio.”

The Liberals leader also claimed the Italian PM had “abused" his office by meeting with the ‘gilets jaunes’ protesters last week.

In response to the stinging insults, Mr Conte, who heads the coalition of the anti-establishment Five Star Movement and right-wing League, hit back.

He said: “We have to be careful about the words that we use.

“I am not a puppet, I am very pleased to represent my people.

“The puppets are those who work for lobbies and other power, and that’s not the case here.”

He added that “shameful” things about his country were being said - including accusations that Italy was “letting children die in the sea” - which he said were “simply not true”.
