Matteo Salvini: Italy's far-right success story | Europe| News and current affairs from around the continent | DW | 05.03.2018
Keywords: Berlusconi, Forza Italia, Salvini, Northern League,
Tags: Current Focus, Italy,
Since taking over Italy's right wing Northern League Party in 2013, Matteo Salvini, 44 years old, has improved the party's appeal by appealing to parts of Italy's north beyond its base in Lombardy, Piedmont and Veneto. The Milan native called for greater autonomy for the northern region, and even secession, supporting the northerners view that tax money from the prosperous north was being wasted on the poorer regions in the south. He also entered into an alliance with Silvio Belusconi's Forza Italia party. He took a hard line on immigration.
Salvini has called for a train service for Milanese only, to draw attention to immigrants from non-EU countries. The head of the Five Star Movement Party of Beppe Grillo, is Luigi Di Maio, who has called for ending the "taxi service" that brings to Italy migrants stranded on small boats in the Mediterranean. The shift in sentiment in Italy towards immigration has helped parties on the right as it has done in Italy and to a lesser extent in Germany with AfD's larger presence in the German parliament.

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.

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.
