Populist Candidate Wins First Round of Rome Mayoral Election

The Five Star Movement of Beppe Grillo in Italy
10/01/2012
Italy's new movement which is anti-euro has seen public support go up from 4% in 2011 to 20% in 2012 in opinion polls. This party formed around Grillo's anti-establishment views and corrupt politicians won the election in Parma with little funding. Part of the popularity comes from the austerity measures taken by prime minister Monti, whom he calls "rigor Monti." Grillo supports environmental issues and describes himself as moderately liberal, at the same time he tightly controls this movement. He says his movement is similar to the movement in France of Marie Le Pen which opposes austerity measures and membership in the eurozone.

Prime minister Renzi of Italy and legislation for constitutional changes on electoral reforms
05/09/2015
The new legislation introduced by prime minister Renzi in the Italian parliament gives the party with 40% of the popular vote a majority of seats in parliament. This is designed to prevent the deadlocked politics and short lived coalition governments experienced by Italy since World War II. It has also made it difficult to revitalize the economy by making necessary changes for the long term that may be upopular in the short term.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
