Jihad Watch reported several days ago that Italy’s President Sergio Mattarella sabotaged the popular anti-Muslim migration, “Euroceptic” coalition. Mattarella “used his largely ceremonial position as head of state to controversially block the two parties’ previous Cabinet from taking office.”
That led to calls for his impeachment, while leaders of Five-Star and the League began organizing rallies in Italy ahead of fresh elections that were expected to be either in the Fall or early new year. Now, in a rapid turnaround after Mattarella’s “plan unraveled amid public backlash”:
A populist coalition government is back on the cards in Italy, with the anti-establishment Five-Star Movement (M5S) and nationalist League (Lega) ready to submit a new Cabinet.
Kudos to Italian citizens for taking responsibility for the survival of their own nation in the face of leaders who have abandoned them.
“Breakthrough: Populist Italian Govt Back on the Cards as Five-Star and Lega Ink Fresh Deal,” by Jack Montgomery, Breitbart, May 31, 2018:
A populist coalition government is back on the cards in Italy, with the anti-establishment Five-Star Movement (M5S) and nationalist League (Lega) ready to submit a new Cabinet.
President Sergio Mattarella, an EU loyalist chosen by the political class rather than elected directly by the people, used his largely ceremonial position as head of state to controversially block the two parties’ previous Cabinet from taking office, on grounds that he did not like the proposed economy minister, Paolo Savona — a eurosceptic who has argued for Italy to have a ‘Plan B’ for exiting the euro and readopting a national currency of its own.The populists vowed to stand by their candidate, with M5S calling for Mattarella’s impeachment and Lega calling for fresh elections — leaving the elderly president free to call on Carlo Cottarelli, a former International Monetary Fund (IMF), to form a technocratic, globalist-friendly ‘caretaker’ administration.
That plan unravelled amid a public backlash when Cottarelli found himself unable to drum up any support for a ‘non-political’ government, and it looked as though Italians would have to head back to the ballot box again and deliver an increased populist mandate — until news today that M5S and Lega had apparently reached a deal to submit another Cabinet to Mattarell, minus the eurosceptic Savona.
“The Five-Star Movement and the League have reached an agreement on a political government headed by Giuseppe Conte as prime minister,” party leaders Luigi Di Maio and Matteo Salvini announced in a joint statement….
Miriam says
Wrong again Breitbart. Savona is still in the Cabinet as Minister of Affari Europei. The new Goverment was sworn in today.
Viva la Lega!! Forza Salvini!!

Good news from Italy. The populist movement is gaining momentum throughout the world and this win in Italy will provide further impetus to remove progressive, left wing politicians and replace them with populist, patriotic governments

The elites are not the people. The statues were covered by government functionaries. I.E. Eurocrats. They are not like those in the private sector. .
HugoHackenbush says
Note: the conference referenced was private. I am referring to the prior events at the Capitoline.

Go Italia !!, clean up Your country from from this awaful mess , this savages , parasites out from Europe!!
Lawrence says
Yet the Five Star Movement is riddled through with paranoia, conspiracy mongering, Jew hatred and yes Islamophilia. I mean look who heads it, Beppe Grillo, who hearts the Iranian ayatollahs.
Rufolino says
If anyone thinks this new government will achieve anything startling they will be disappointed !
Advertised “policies” don’t mean a thing in Italy. Everything is negotiable, including the Truth.
The new Prime Minister lied about the universities he attended, but who cares about that, in Italy ?
There is NO “respect for the truth” in Italy, it is much more convenient to invent what’s required.
Wait for all the policies now advertised to be modified -and probably “forgotten”.
(I’ve lived in Italy for 26 years.)
Baucent says
Very good news. The new government is talking about repatriating 500,000 illegal immigrants.
Terra Nova says
It shows that Italy is not a democracy with his president Mattarella who has misused his high up job to try to undercut other people wo have different opinions.
That is what we call : the elite” Misusing your own position. I say: Forza Italia e Grazia per ester forte !!
Luciano J. Ercolini says
Von Hayaak in his book, The Road to Serfdom, also said that it is a natural socialist progression for such governments to continually increase taxation and regulations till they become a totalitarian state. Why…..it’s the failure of socialism. The little utopia on earth that they envision is expensive and while all want the benefits……well….no one wants to pay the piper and work. This is what;s happening all over Europe and especially in Italy.

Granddaddy says
Really, if the problem is just repatriating half a million illegal “migrants”, I say let them swim back. It’s a lot faster, and cheaper too.
Granddaddy says
Viva l’Italia!
Granddaddy says
President Sergio Mattarella should be impeached anyway. He has demonstrated his willingness to dispense with his obligations to Italy. Who’s to say he won’t do it again?
