A lot is being made about the statement by Italian Minister of Agriculture Francesco Lollobrigida with regards to the ethnic replacement of native Italians by immigrants.
This is, however, the same minister who has been pushing for a plan to bring 500,000 agricultural workers to Italy.
We get the distinct feeling of another whip-lashing by the Meloni administration as the rhetoric remains hard by the policy actions remain soft.
Infact, we know so. Just a few days ago the Italian Foreign Minister agreed to import some 4,000 Tunisian workers to the country.
Replacement by “legal” immigrants is no better than repacement by illegal ones.
Illegal immigration to Italy remains skyhigh (and rising) and Meloni is distracted with passing legislation to do with what words officials can and cannot use. There was also recent a law to outlaw raves.
On the foreign policy front Meloni remains massively supportive of Ukraine, despite less than 40% of Italians wanting to continue proping up the Zelensky regime.
And within the context of the European Union Meloni does not want to loosen state aid rules for businesses. This move benefits Washington to the direct detriment of the Italian economy which desperately needs more support.’
Rather than sending drones to Ukraine, or spending huge sums of debt-financed cash on ‘green’ initiatives the Meloni administration would be wise to keep its promises to Italian voters, especially the many young people who support it, and begin reversing the demographic damage to the country.
