Globalist open-door France, with its problems of national security, church burnings, political correctness and increasingly violent Islamic antisemitism, has the audacity to be monitoring Italy over freedom. Why? Because Italy’s likely new prime minister Georgia Meloni threatens the globalist, undemocratic status quo of France and more broadly, Europe as a whole.
“Meloni Angered Over French Minister Statements on ‘Monitoring’ Freedom,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, October 9, 2022:
Brothers of Italy (FdI) leader and likely next Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni sharply criticised a French minister over remarks that France may monitor the country for violations of rights and freedoms.
Miss Meloni reacted to statements made by France;’s European Affairs Minister, Laurence Boone, who stated in an interview with Italian media: “We want to work with Rome but will monitor respect for rights and freedoms. It is important that the Meloni government remains on the European front against Moscow and in favour of sanctions.”
“On this point, Meloni has clearly expressed his support for what Europe is doing. After that it is clear that we have differences. We will be very careful to respect the values and rules of the rule of law. The EU has already demonstrated to be vigilant towards other countries such as Hungary and Poland,” Boone added.
Following the remarks, Meloni was quick to slam the French minister, saying: “I want to hope that, as often happens, the left-wing press has misrepresented the real statements made by foreign government representatives, and I trust that the French government will immediately deny these words, which resemble too much an unacceptable threat of interference against a sovereign state, a member of the European Union,” Il Giornale reports.
“The era of DEMOCRATIC Party-led governments that ask for protection abroad is over, I think it is clear to everyone, in Italy and in Europe,” she added — the Democratic Party (PD) being Italy’s main left-establishment political force.
The statement from Minister Boone comes after French prime minister Elisabeth Borne made similar statements regarding Italy and access to abortion.
Just days prior to last month’s national election, which saw Meloni’s FdI come first as the single largest party, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen was also accused of threatening Italy stating, “If things go in a difficult direction, I’ve spoken about Hungary and Poland, we have tools.”
“These are disgusting words, the threatening tone is unacceptable,” said populist League leader Matteo Salvini, a member of the right-wing coalition Meloni’s FdI now leads, following von der Leyen’s comments, accusing the EU Commission chief of making an attempt to influence or even blackmail Italian voters.
Meloni and her allies are still in the process of forming the next Italian government, but the FdI leader has stated that her top priorities are the looming winter energy crisis and the rising cost of living for Italians……

Typical eu response, they never let go, ie Northern Ireland.
All strength to Melonis arm, Mateo too.

In bitter ironic mode, the European Union (EU) is doing its best to destroy Europe. And Meloni stands ten feet tall compared to European midgets like Boone.
The West is now functioning in inverted mode, destroying itself from within by way of one idiotic policy after another, two of them being on immigration and energy. Nut cases and buffoons are now largely in charge. Here in America across the Pond the ENTIRE bogus Biden Administration can serve as another example of how detritus is now governing us.

Good going, EU, keep encouraging more countries to go the way of the UK. Even though the latter has yet to withdraw from the European Court and is still tolerating migrants, that is probably on the cards the nearer Britain draws closer to its next elections
I daresay Putin looks more attractive compared to these Eurocrats

That’s what neighbors are for, judging each other and their parents.

According to the feature article:
“The EU has already demonstrated to be vigilant towards other countries such as Hungary and Poland,” Boone added.”
So why are both Hungary and Poland two of the most livable European countries for non-muslims?
Hint: it has something to do with their immigration policies…

Italy: Meloni angered over French minister’s statement about ‘monitoring’ Italy’s freedom
…………………………………..
*So* insulting–and chilling. As though a Europe overrun by Jihad terrorists is freer.
And kudos to cartoonist Bosch Fawstin for his fine rendering of Ms. Meloni.

At the Entrance to the European Union Parliament there is a Sign stating.
” National Sovereignty is the root cause of the most crying evils of our times.
The only final remedy for this evil is The Federal Union of The Peoples ”.
In other words, we, the Elite, will tell you what to think, what to do and when to do it, and if you disagree, ”we” have tools to deal with it…
I lived in Germany when the UK joined the known then as The Common Market, it was good for me as I am British and therefore didnt need to hop over the Alps to Austria every now again for a new Visa, but I knew it was bad for the UK, though good for me, this Common Market became what is today the European Union ruled and controlled by the former Kings and Queens of Europe, just look at the name of the female in charge, Von is the upper class, the elite, the WEF.
Thankfully I dont live anywhere near Europe any more, since decades.
