In terms of the mass Muslim migrant influx, this is manifestly true.
“Italy’s Matteo Salvini: EU has ‘ruined our country,'” DW, October 5, 2018:
Deputy premier Matteo Salvini has suggested EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker had “ruined Europe and our country.” Disputes over Italy’s budget with the EU come ahead of next year’s EU elections.
The far-right, Euroskeptic head of Italy’s League party appeared to strengthen his line against EU opposition to Italy’s tax-cutting budget on Friday.
Speaking at an agricultural trade fair in Rome, Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Matteo Salvini said: “The EU said yes to (past) budgets that impoverished Italy and made its situation precarious.”
“So I don’t get up in the morning thinking about the judgment that people like Juncker and (EU Economic Affairs Commissioner Pierre) Moscovici, who have ruined Europe and Italy, have of the government and of Italy,” Salvini added.
‘I talk to sober people’
On Tuesday, Salvini had threatened to seek damages from Juncker for scaring off investors by attacking Rome’s budget plans, amid some thinly veiled personal remarks levelled at the president.
When asked by broadcaster La7 about Juncker’s suggestion Italy might pose a Greece-like threat to the euro, Salvini replied: “I talk to sober people who don’t make comparisons that aren’t here nor there.”
“He should drink two glasses of water before opening his mouth, and stop spreading non-existent threats,” Salvini continued. “Or we’ll ask him for damages.”…

I certainly respect PM Salvini for putting Italy first and trying to protect the country and its citizens,
Without him, Italy will be lost as will Europe! Not to mention the traitor Pope, preaching for open borders
and mass immigration, all the time living behind the walls of the vatican . The pope is a total hypocrite !
God bless PM Salvini and save Italy.
God bless America too!!??????
Clive Stephen Delmonte says
Amen to that.

Not only ruining it, but on purpose as puppets on someone’s strings.

The hand of George Soros is up their asses. Like Howdy Doody they speak the words of their master.

Matteo Salvini is Italians saviour……Unleash the beast!
mortimer says
Italian voters are taking note. The only politicians who puts Italy first.
StellaSaidSo says
Well said, Sir. The likes of Juncker and Moscovici deserve to be exposed for the bullies that they are. The EU has indeed ruined Europe. It’s time now for Europe to ruin the EU, and take back its freedom and democracy.

Salvini is Italy’s Alpha Male. He speaks the truth and doesn’t care who agrees.
Carol the 1st says
You’re right, these lone alpha males bolster the confidence and really help lead the charge! And don’t just take his word re Drunker but judge for yourself!:

The Italian people need to wake up, get a double espresso, and fix their economy. Then tell the EU they are having an Italexit.
Italians should have learned from the blackshirts and Mussolini what socialism does to a country. You cannot have year after year of generous government handouts, higher and higher taxes, and deficit spending without ruining your currency and driving businesses out.
All the EU is doing is running a bigger Ponzi scheme than Mussolini, and using a different bunch of thugs to enforce it.
Keep the thugs out by securing borders, stopping so called refugee rescue ships from entering Italian ports, and prosecuting those that aid the infiltration of your country by these thugs. There are people out there that would benefit from some humanitarian aid. Help them make their HOME COUNTRY better.

As I learned back in the Bronx of the ’50s and ’60s, with them Eye-talians, what isn’t an opera is a vendetta.

Juncker is a big time drunk/clown. At a lunch meeting with a journalist he denied having a drinking problem, even though he had downed a lot of drinks…
Watch the look on the face of the guy behind Juncker as he talks about aliens.

Italy’s Salvini: EU Commission President Juncker has “ruined Europe and Italy”
……………………
Salvini is not wrong.
Grits says
I’m curious about exactly how much the ” refugees” have cost Italy to rescue and financially support in every area from cradle to grave. That’s where Italy’s money has been going. Depletion by 3rd world migrants who have no intention to integrate and work and who have no skills and very little education. I’m willing to bet every penny Italy takes in from taxes is spent on supporting the never ending flow of overbreeding miscreants .

The EU commision is not the only political body planning to replace the christian population of Europe with primitive superstitious parasites from Africa and Middle east!
The UN is going to adopt a “Global compact for safe, orderly and regular migration”.
This will open up for unrestricted invasion to all signing memberstates. Their possiblities for protecting their own borders are simply taken away So called ‘refugees’ and migrants are assigned equal status.
New avenues for migration is opened. Migrant must be given special positive treatment, more economic means and media are forbidden to publish any ‘negative’ information on migration.
The announced UN-document will be a pure declaration of war in a world already full of conflict.
The compact is effectively a global opening for totally free islamic colonization of the christian western countries, with at guaranteed preferred treatment of islam appended.
Excessive smoking, drinking, narcotics, UN and EU kills you!
TWG says
What a joy it is to watch this Man take control over there in Italy! As an American with Italian roots, I have a new faith that Italy might just turn the ship around and save what’s left of that beautiful country.
Of course, they’re surrounded by islammunist countries, so their future is pretty rough either way. But IF they go down, at least they will go down as ITALIANS, on their feet instead of on their knees. (While giving both middle fingers to the EU cabal.)
Guy Forester says
Growing up in a largely Italian neighborhood years ago, and having been in Italy years ago (prior to the EU), I would say this:
1. Italians need to quit bickering over regional differences. They may be important, but are nowhere near as critical as the current migrant crisis.
2. Italians need to focus on the bigger picture, stop fractionating into small, single issue parties, and put together fewer, really capable political parties that will be able to accomplish something.
3. The Italy I visited was full of hardworking, intelligent, enthusiastic people that love life. I hope this has not changed and that they can use that energy to move Italy forward, not backward into another communist style state (i.e., the EU) like the former iron curtain countries DDR, Poland, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia. Those people paid for freedom with their lives.

I’m still worried by the comments from the other EU idiot verhofstadt apparently requesting US help with regime change in Hungary. I hope Farage etc will roast him over this in the EU “parliament”.
