  • Italian here, a bit of info:

    The meeting in Modena will likely get cancelled. The mayor published an update today on his social media where he claims that an administrative investigation will take place where the grant of public space will be reconsidered in light of the information about the event. It was probably granted as an oversight.

    The meeting with dugin will happen and can’t not happen. Dugin will be in video call from Russia. The call will take place in a private structure, there is nothing anybody - even the police - can do about it. There will be protests. I will be there. But the event will take place regardless.

    If y’all and I gather in my living room and we make cheerful poems about the holocaust and chant heil Hitler to each other’s face it’s still legal. You can say anything you want in your private space. This is not Russia, as much as those pieces of shit gathering there would like to.




  • In the context of the Italian political system, that would mean that whoever gets a relative majority - as low as it may be - forms a powerful government that cannot be removed from power for the whole of the term, during which it can do as it pleases as opposition is functionally useless.

    Now that may not be a dictionary definition of fascism, but surely it’s a shiv in the neck of democracy and a pretty big step towards dictatorship.

    The good thing is that it requires citizens to vote for it in a referendum.

    The bad thing is that all it requires is to swindle people, which seems to be pretty easy nowadays considering that all referendums in Italy have had the worst possible result for the last 20 years or so.
