On the heels of Trump and Brexit, Italy becomes the next populist battleground | News | DW.COM | 18.11.2016
Schumacher of DW.com provides insights into the referendum in Italy in which the "no" vote has a lead. Some aspects of the constitutional reforms are not positive and reduce representation, Renzi's failure to guage public frustration especially after the failure of Mayor Marino in Italy to improve services and infrastructure, the coalescing of different strands of public opinion from right to left in a referendum such as in Brexit especially with a failure to improve economic conditions for the middle class, make a "no' vote likely.
Virginia Raggi, the M5S Party Mayor of Rome in 2016 elections
12/05/2016
Mayor Ignazio Marino of the Democratic Left party loses in Rome's Mayoral election after failing to bring improvements expected by voters to services and infrastructure. This failure also reflects poorly on the Democratic Left parties in Renzi's government as the M5S party asks voters "to send them home."

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.

Italy's premier Renzi's economic policy to generate higher growth to meet deficit targets, and tax breaks to help ordinary Italians hurt by falling incomes
04/09/2014
Incomes of average Italians have fallen to 1998 levels after decades of low growth.

The world economy: Wealth without workers, workers without wealth
Economist 10/06/2014
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.
