Maybe it was the rain, it was predicted. Maybe it was the sudden shadow, the over's from Austria. Or both. The Piazza del Duomo to celebrate anyway, so something like the living room of Milan, the place for major sports and political rallies, has not been fully. Although had called a Milan: Matteo Salvini .
100'000 supporters were expected at the summit of the sovereignists and the extreme Right. Italy's Minister of the interior of the right-nationalist Lega had organized the Meeting the end of the Campaign before the European elections. Buses and special trains were chartered for the Saturday, all for free. In the end, only about 20'000 were.
Almost completely the field of the invited speakers, eleven was the total. the Marine Le Pen was there, the Head of the Rassemblement National, formerly National Front, which spoke of a "historic" day: "Europe is the main," she said.
Geert Wilders , the head of the Dutch freedom party, presented his program for once, in Italian: "Basta Islam had Come!" The Alternative for Germany had sent their MEP Jörg Meuthen, on the "arrogant technocrats" and "elites" in Brussels scolded, the wool we get to be political to be the case.
Strache, adopted from the policy, as you proclaimed in Milan in a "new Era".
In Milan, were also nationalists from Denmark, Belgium, Finland, Estonia, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, each with a short Deposit. The freedom party sent a representative, all the turmoil, in Spite of. The MEP Georg Mayer, the thankless task fell to, to pretend that everything would be fine.
of Course, had been planned, that Heinz-Christian Strache would look, the former Star of the party, one of the pillars of this Alliance, the "European Alliance of peoples and Nations" is called. Strache adopted but from the policy, as you proclaimed in Milan in a "new Era". Mayer mentioned Strache is not a word.
electoral Alliance without a top candidate
The speakers, it didn't seem to mind that the console "Prima l'italia" stand, Italy first. The whole contradiction of this "black International," as the Italian press called the composite, in an image.
the Same parties from the North and East of Europe are in each case particularly intransigent, if the Italians ask for in Brussels more as a goodwill gesture when drawing up the budget. Common the hard stance against immigrants, against Muslims, and the alleged arrogance of the elites is to you. This was also due to the fact that the "super group", which is to be built in the new Parliament, could agree on a top candidate.
the Salvini is your Hero of the Moment, the right-wing populist with the greatest encouragement and the greatest political influence in an important country in Europe.
Salvini gave the Pope the Whistles of his Fans.
Now, after Straches fall, grows the role of the Italian Vice-Prime Minister. His Lega, which is in the polls at 30 percent of voting intentions, will of all parties to the Alliance, most members of Parliament. He spoke as the Last, as the main act. In the Hand, Salvini held a rosary, the one he kissed once.
"I'm willing to give my life for Italy," he said and recommended and all attendees to the "immaculate heart" of Mary. It is not the first Time that Salvini, who is not known as a particularly religious person, in Religion, to round out his Image.
Then he gave the Pope the Whistles of his Fans. "With our government, we have created facts. I say this to prevent the Pope Francis , the just spoke today of the necessity of the dead in the Mediterranean." A part of the Piazza buhte, as the Pope would be a political opponent. "The government," said Salvini, "the number of dead in the Mediterranean to zero – with Pride and a true Christian spirit."
guests as extras
The Theory that its foreclosure policy to reduce the refugee dramas, is highly controversial. There are fewer ships to come in fact, since then, Italy, closes the ports and the NGOs, disabled. However, the dangers are increased, is because there are fewer rescuers between Libya and Italy cross.
is Proportional to, say, international organizations and human rights associations to come today, more and more migrants to attempt to cross the Mediterranean sea, than ever before. Just with less tools. The Pope is referring to when he criticized the policy of the Minister of the interior, without mentioning him by name.
the Salvini's appearance was particularly true of the Italian electorate, he wanted to mobilize after the recent corruption scandals in the party. The international guests had as extras. So, too, was directed against the summit in the streets of Milan, in the first line against Salvini.
Zorro high above the Piazza
thousands marched in the name of anti-fascism. On the balconies, saying hung in ribbons. "More bridges, fewer walls", you could read for example. Other negotiated by the 49 million Euro of public money, the Salvini's party had in the last few years seem to mysteriously disappear.
The largest of the Public but was a trade unionist who einmietete in a hotel room high above the Piazza del Duomo and in a carnival costume shrouded: Zorro – velvet hat, and mask. For an hour he waved up there with a plastic sword, the focus of all the television cameras. A fun nod to the recent biography of Salvini's, a adulation, in which the Minister of the interior told him in Kindergarten, his beloved Zorro doll stolen had been.
After an hour, the police forced the Zorro in the Hotel to finish his parody. His banner was rolled up and removed, it said: "we Remain human."
