Silvia Sardone: “They Spit in the Face of Rules and Practices”

Silvia Sardone is an Italian MEP for the Lega (Matteo Salvini’s party). In the following video, Ms. Sardone describes the way the established parties in the European Parliament have closed ranks against Viktor Orbán’s new “Patriots for Europe” group, denying its members the offices which would normally be allocated to them.

I apologize for the all jump cuts, animations, and rapid-fire editing in this clip, but such things are outside of my control.

Nazis, Nazis, Everywhere!

Maximilian Krah is a member of the AfD (Alternative für Deutschland, Alternative for Germany), and until recently was part of the party’s leadership. However, Mr. Krah was the victim of an outbreak of the Screaming Nazi Heeber-Jeebers (SNHJ), an affliction that is particularly likely to appear whenever a conservative German says something that deviates even slightly from the Narrative about 1939-1945.

The sin of the unfortunate former AfD leader sin was to say that not all members of the SS had been war criminals. Which is an entirely reasonable historical assertion; amongst all the thousands of men in the SS, there must have been a considerable number who never took part in any atrocities.

Alas for Maximilian Krah, historical accuracy was not enough to exonerate him during an outbreak of the SNHJ. He was forced out of the leadership of the AfD. That in its turn was not enough to save the party, however: the AfD was repudiated by those who should have been its best friends, namely the leaders of fellow European right-wing nationalist parties, beginning with Marine Le Pen of Rassemblement National.

Now Matteo Salvini of the Lega has piled on. Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this article from Junge Freiheit:

Agrees with Le Pen

Now Salvini is also turning away from the AfD

Now things are happening in rapid succession: After the French Rassemblement National, the Italian Lega is also turning away from the AfD following SS statements by Maximilian Krah. The party is in shambles.

Rome

Next bad news for the AfD: After the French Rassemblement National (RN), the right-wing Italian party Lega under party leader Matteo Salvini is now distancing itself. According to the Ansa news agency, the party’s delegation in the EU Parliament announced that it agreed with the RN on the question of further cooperation with the AfD. “Matteo Salvini and Marine Le Pen are in perfect agreement, as always.” (Il partito di Marine Le Pen rompe con l’Afd: non siederemo più con loro. La Lega: pieno accordo con la leader francese.)

The background is an interview with the AfD’s top candidate for the EU elections, Maximilian Krah, in an Italian newspaper. When asked by the Italian mass daily La Repubblica, he said that not every member of the SS was automatically a criminal. “I will never say that anyone who wore an SS uniform was automatically a criminal.” The SS carried out several massacres in France and Italy towards the end of the Second World War.

Salvini governs as a junior partner together with Giorgia Meloni and is Minister of Transport. He was actually considered a loyal ally of the AfD until now. According to Junge Freiheit‘s information, the party of Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla was not invited to a major rally of European right-wing parties by the Spanish Vox party over the weekend. The FPÖ has not yet publicly expressed solidarity with the AfD, either.

Matteo Salvini: “The EU of Recent Years Has Been a Disaster”

Below are excerpts from a brief press conference held by Deputy Italian Prime Minister Matteo Salvini. The context of the presser is that it followed a recent demonstration against Israel in Pisa (involving, one presumes, large numbers of Muslim culture-enrichers). The crowd wanted to gain access to the square adjacent to the synagogue of Pisa, but was prevented from doing so by police. In the clash that followed, the cops had to use their batons against the demonstrators.

In answering the reporters’ questions, Mr. Salvini made it clear that he supported the police.

Giorgia Meloni: “There is a Process of Islamization of Europe”

The following video is not current — these remarks made by (now) Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni were uttered at a press conference during the Italian general election campaign in 2018.

I would be remiss if I failed to note that Ms. Meloni has been disappointing, to say the least, in her actions as Prime Minister concerning mass immigration into Italy. Nevertheless, it’s still good to hear her say these things.

Culture-Enriching Hero Becomes a Thug

Cast your mind back to March of 2019, when a Senegalese culture-enricher hijacked a bus full of schoolchildren in Milan and torched it. He was later sentenced to 24 years in prisonfor his actions. (The videos we posted back then were on one of Vlad’s channels that has been taken down, so see this ANSA story for more on the incident.)

Amazingly enough, none of the children were hurt, thanks to a resourceful 13-year-old on the bus who managed to retain his cell phone and summon the police. He was a culture-enricher himself, of Egyptian origin. Interior Minister Matteo Salvini praised him for his quick thinking.

That was then. This is now.

The same resourceful Egyptian youngster has just turned 18. The video below recounts the actions of a gang led by him, in which a young Italian was set upon and severely beaten by the “youths”, who then stole his cap.

It just goes to show that like blood, cultural enrichment will tell.

The Defender of Europe

I woke up this morning and learned that an attempted coup was underway against Vladimir Putin, staged by Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of the Wagner Group. Since I have no expertise whatsoever on internal Russian politics, I won’t be commenting on the situation myself (Putin’s speech is here).

I don’t generally post photos of myself, but I’ll make an exception in this case, due to the t-shirt I was wearing at the beach the day before yesterday:

The rain finally quit for a while, and the sun came out (sort of), enough for me to go down and put my feet into the surf.

That’s Matteo Salvini on my shirt, which was marketed back when he was Interior Minister, before he was betrayed by Giuseppe Conte and the 5-Star Movement. Dymphna gave me the shirt for Christmas in 2018 (her last Christmas). It’s the first time I’ve worn it to the beach. Actually, it’s the first time I’ve been to the beach in seventeen years. It was good to feel the sand between my toes.

I doubt that one American in 10,000 would recognize the image of Matteo Salvini. When someone asks who that is on my shirt, and I tell them, they’ve never even heard of him. So I launch into an explanation, but by the time I get to phrases such as “interior minister” and “coalition government” and “closed the ports to migrant-rescue vessels”, their eyes glaze over and I can tell they are only pretending to pay attention, just to be polite.

Mine is a specialized line of work.

Reprise of Taharrush in Peschiera del Garda

Gardaland is a popular amusement park on Lake Garda near Peschiera del Garda in the Veneto region of northern Italy. June 2 is Republic Day in Italy. As reported here last year (see the links at the bottom of this post), there were mob scenes and sex assaults on Republic Day at Peschiera del Garda and on the trains running back and forth. The innocent young culture-enrichers announced in advance of this year’s event that they would be reprising their mischievous hijinks from last year.

I haven’t seen any reports about what happened yesterday, but here’s an article about the expected disturbances that was published on Wednesday.

“It’s better if you don’t come”. The shocking arrogance of young immigrants against Salvini re: June 2

A new gathering of boys of foreign origin is expected at Peschiera del Garda: Security system activated. Already five searches

by Francesca Galici
May 31, 2023

June 2 is upon us, but it will not be just an occasion to celebrate the republic because, in the wake of what happened last year, there is the risk of its being a day of confrontations and violence on Lake Garda. There is a social media drumbeat for a new gathering on the shores of the lake on the part of foreign and second-generation boys ready to generate new disorders that risk endangering the safety of tourists and non-tourists alike who would like to enjoy a day in one of the most beautiful areas in our country. A few days ago, Minister Matteo Salvini replied to the social media reports of “young thugs”, promising that the State will do everything to prevent it. On the other hand, the boys responded in kind, challenging the minister and the government.

Last year there were 2,000 boys who devastated Peschiera del Garda and the trains that left and arrived at the station. The gathering, in fact, attracts young thugs from all over Italy, and it is especially the “Baby Gangs” that show up, using the occasion to challenge each other for territorial dominance. Ancestral dynamics that cause worry for the social stability of our country and which the government is trying to counter. “Matteo, we are waiting for you… Actually, it is better if you don’t come,” the foreign adolescents are saying now, directed at the minister of Transport and Infrastructure.

The most serious element of this situation is represented by the usual hubris and arrogance demonstrated against Italian institutions on the part of these boys. In fact, mocking the security system that is being set up to control movements, the young thugs are letting it be known they already have a Plan B capable of evading the network being set up. In order to prevent acts of hooliganism, a high-level online meeting was held yesterday among the six prefectures principally involved to coordinate containment actions to activate in case the event is repeated.

While police monitoring of the web is constant on all social platforms, for purposes of prevention, five young people intending to participate in violent behavior have already been reported to Digos*. Today, searches have been carried out against the five, which involved the men of Digos offices in Milan, Vicenza, and Rovigo. Three have already been reported to police for being responsible for various crimes and for gravitating to the baby gangs. Their parents have been summoned as responsible for their actions.

Culture-Enriching Knife Rampage in Milan

An illegal immigrant from Morocco who had previously applied for asylum in Germany was arrested on Monday in Milan after a series of knife attacks that wounded six people.

Many thanks to HeHa for translating this video report, and to Vlad Tepes and RAIR Foundation for the subtitling:

Below are two articles about the attacks in Milan, translated by Gary Fouse.

The first piece is from ANSA:

Passersby stabbed in robbery at Milan, six wounded

Drunk man with a pocketknife arrested. The attacks in the vicinity of the station

Still more violence around the Central Station of Milan, for some time now constantly the center of incidents of criminality day and night, and where in the afternoon six passersby were wounded, one seriously, following four robberies committed by a drunk man armed with a pocketknife, described as a young North African, subsequently arrested.

And perhaps it is thanks to the short blade of the pocketknife, a multi-use type, that the worst was avoided.

At first, it seemed there were two attackers, but the National Police maintain that the arrested man acted alone, in different moments and places, causing fear and havoc in a central zone of the city and at a time when the sidewalks are full of people.

The final toll is six wounded people, one of whom was treated at the scene, while the other five were transported to the hospital, two of them in serious condition: A 57-year-old, whose condition is not serious, and a 68-year-old, none believed to be in life-threatening condition. The most serious, the 68-year-old, is reportedly a witness who intervened to defend a girl who was robbed while in the company of her boyfriend on Viale Brianza, at the exit gate of her home. According to what has been reconstructed by the Mobile Squad [police], at about 5:40pm the man reportedly robbed a 39-year-old Italian woman at the Mortirolo underpass, using a knife to rob her of her cell phone. After that, on Via Gluck he reportedly robbed a Salvadoran citizen, taking his cell phone and ATM card.

Shortly after that, the criminal reportedly committed another robbery on Via Sammartini against a 34-year-old Spanish citizen, robbed of 20 euros and a cell phone. Next — again according to the charges — the man reportedly committed the fourth robbery on Viale Brianza against a 24-year-old, from whom he reportedly stole credit cards. In this circumstance, three Italian citizens intervened in her defense, respectively a 24-year-old (the boyfriend who was with her), a 68-year-old, and a 57-year-old, who reported suffering various injuries.

The alleged robber then managed to flee on foot along Via Venini, where he attempted a final robbery against a 44-year-old, when he was arrested by police motorcycle patrol officers from the National Police. He offered no resistance, and after being treated himself at the scene, was taken to jail awaiting interrogation. On his person, aside from the bloody pocket knife, he had the personal effects of the woman who was robbed on Viale Brianza as well as three cell phones.

“Shocking news from my Milan, where the area of the Central Station is confirmed to be at grave risk. Only the heroic intervention of some citizens prevented the toll from being more dramatic,” was the comment from Vice Premier and Minister Matteo Salvini.

Tear Down This Mosque!

As reported here last week in the news feed, a mob of angry Muslims prevented police from shutting down an illegal mosque in Florence. Below are excerpts from a Breitbart article about the incident (hat tip Reader from Chicago):

A mob of Muslims in the Italian city of Florence blocked a local bailiff from repossessing an illegal mosque, with hundreds of people preventing police from entering.

A bailiff and local police attempted to take back a former garage in Piazza dei Ciompi being used as a mosque after the owner of the property refused to renew the contract with its operator due to money being owed.

On Friday morning, hundreds gathered in front of the mosque to stop police from entering the premises, as well as the local bailiff and legal representation for the property owner, the newspaper Il Giornale reports.

Florence imam Izzedin Elzir commented on the attempted eviction, saying: “We do not know if there will be a postponement of the eviction, we are here to pray. We will not leave until we find an alternative.”

“I thank those who do their part to guarantee the rights of all: part of this right is that of property and must be guaranteed, we are the first to say that we must give the space back,” he claimed.

[…]

Federico Bussolin, a local city councillor in Florence and member of the League, added: “The eviction of the illegal mosque must be done.”

Similar scenes have been seen elsewhere in Europe, such as in Franc in 2017 when Muslims in the city of Clichy took to the streets to protest a local government move to remove them from a building they had occupied and used as a mosque.

The following video shows remarks made by Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini about the illegal mosque. Many thanks to HeHa for the translation, and to Vlad Tepes and RAIR Foundation for the subtitling:

Giorgia on my Mind


“Here you go!”

Below is an encomium written by a Dane to Giorgia Meloni, the next prime minister of Italy, whose recent electoral success has caused alarm in Brussels and all the other nests of Western globalists.

Many thanks to LN for translating this article from Snaphanen:

Giorgia Meloni is the winner of the election

by Bitten-Kirsti Nielsen

I had been eagerly awaiting the results of the Italian elections. Would Meloni win to the delight of the Italian patriots, but to the great annoyance of Brussels, where Ursula von der Leyen has for some time threatened the Italian voters with sanctions if they voted — as they have now done?

Yesterday [Monday Sept. 26] morning Corriere della Sera published the final results for the three winning parties, which together received 44.06%, with 26.12% for the Fratelli d’Italia, 8.90% for the Lega and 8.27% for Forza Italia. This gave the centre-right coalition an absolute majority in both chambers. This is a victory not only for Italy, but also for all Europeans, who can hope for a return to a Europe of nations.

The leader of the Fratelli d’Italia (Brothers of Italy), Giorgia Meloni, will thus be in charge of forming the new government under President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella, writes Il Giornale. “La Meloni”, as Italians call her with the definite article in front of her name, is a beautiful gesture to a “lady”. Dear Italians… you make me smile.

The rise of Islam in Europe is the main theme of the Fratelli d’Italia national party and the new coalition that wants to fight mass immigration and the Islamisation of Europe. It is now a question of defending the family, Christian roots, Italian identity and the conservative values that the globalists prefer to ignore.

In a speech in Rome in 2019, Meloni’s message to Muslims was as follows:

“If you feel offended by the crucifix, don’t live in Italy. The world is big and full of Islamic countries where you will not find crosses, because Christians are persecuted and churches are razed in these countries… Europe must not be turned into a Muslim continent”. Her programme is also strongly inspired by the Frenchman Eric Zemmour.

Meloni speaks clearly, because there must be no compromise with Islam, and together with [Matteo] Salvini she proposes to close the ports to NGOs that want to land ships with immigrants on the Italian coast.

And if Brussels was once able to block Salvini’s path with the help of Merkel, Macron and Conte, that is not the case this time. Because the Italians have spoken and Meloni has won the election, so the mother of democracy, Ursula von der Leyen, can do nothing. Respect for the people must come first.
