Time uscirà il 24 settembre con una lunga intervista a Matteo Salvini, cui concede l’onore della forografia di copertina:
«The new face of Europe.
Matteo Salvini. Italy’s immigration Czar, is on a mission to undo the E.U.»
*
«Secondo il Time il piano per cambiare l’Europa, presentato nell’intervista, “non solo scuoterebbe le fondamenta dell’Ue ma la ridisegnerebbe dall’interno»
*
«Stiamo lavorando per ristabilire lo spirito europeo che è stato tradito da quelli che governano questa Unione. È chiaro che devo cambiare la dinamica europea. La storia è ciclica. Questo è più che un confronto tra destra e sinistra, è un confronto tra le elite e il popolo.»
*
«L’ascesa vertiginosa in appena sei mesi del ministro degli Interni di destra ha scosso l’establishment europeo e minaccia di rovesciare definitivamente il sistema politico che è stato travolto dall’ondata populista negli ultimi tre anni …. la sua campagna per ridisegnare l’Europa potrebbe essere solo all’inizio»
*
«Salvini adesso è visto come la cosa più vicina che l’Italia ha a un amministratore delegato»
* * * * * * *
«Italians First!»
*
«Matteo Salvini—the far-right Interior Minister whose rocketing rise over just six months has jolted Europe’s establishment and threatens to finally upturn a political system that has reeled under a populist surge for the past three years»
*
«The Italian election in March delivered a humbling defeat to the country’s traditional parties and put Salvini in the position of kingmaker—he chose to ally his far-right party, the League, with the first-place finisher, anti-establishment Five Star Movement»
*
«The populist coalition represents a new era in this country’s famously fractious politics»
*
«He is not Italy’s head of government …. but he doesn’t need to be. The parade of foreign dignitaries lining up to meet Salvini leaves little doubt about who calls the shots. Salvini is now seen as the closest thing Italy has to a chief executive.»
*
«Many see him as the leader most capable of piecing together a large group of populist, nationalist parties in Europe, one that crosses national boundaries in the name of nationalism»
*
«On Sept. 7, former White House chief strategist and proto-nationalist godfather Stephen Bannon met Salvini in Rome to discuss creating a hard-line coalition across Europe for crucial E.U. elections next May, capable of crushing the neoliberal and centrist parties that have led Brussels for decades.»
*
«We are working to re-establish the European spirit that has been betrayed by those who govern this union»
*
«The populist wave in Europe has been building steadily over the past several years. Some believed it had crested with Britain’s vote to leave the E.U. in June 2016, especially after the globalist, pro-E.U. Emmanuel Macron defeated far-right leader Marine Le Pen last year to become President of France. But Europe’s right-wing nationalists have not vanished into obscurity. In Hungary, Denmark, Poland and more, they have quietly slipped into parliaments or won significant numbers of votes. In Germany, the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) became the official opposition party. Austria’s Freedom Party is now part of a coalition government. Even one of Europe’s most liberal countries, Sweden, isn’t immune—the far-right Sweden Democrats won a record 17.6% of votes on Sept. 9. In each case, the message is the same: stronger borders, drastically fewer migrants and a desire to take back control from the elites.»
*
«His message was impeccably timed. Years of government ineptitude had left both the mainstream right-wing, under Silvio Berlusconi, and the center-left, under Matteo Renzi, struggling for credibility»
*
«Although the bigger Five Star Movement finished first in elections in March, the League captured an unprecedented 17.4% share of the vote. In the six months since, polls suggest the party’s support has grown to almost a third of the electorate.»
*
«The driving force behind the League’s explosive growth has been immigration, still a hot-button issue in Europe after the collapse of Syria precipitated the biggest exodus since WW II»
*
«The message for migrants lining up on the other side of the Mediterranean, Salvini said, was la pacchia è finita (“the party’s over”)»
*
«Not to mention, they want to impose their religion»
