Italy’s Salvini says Merkel, Macron have ‘ruined’ the European Union



Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini excoriated German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday, accusing them of having “ruined” Europe -- after Merkel said he wasn’t welcome in her center-right European party.

"It is we who do not want to have anything to do with Merkel and with Emmanuel Macron and with those who have ruined this Union,” he said in San Severo, according to Libero Quotidiano.

“We want to save Europe, which is not that of bureaucrats, bankers, financiers and those who have ruined it in recent years," he said.

Salvini is leader of the right-wing League, which is in coalition with the anti-establishment Five-Star Movement. But he has quickly become the de facto face of the government abroad in his role as interior minister, often overshadowing Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, as he has fought to cut immigration from Africa and has formed alliances with other nationalists abroad.

His scathing remarks were in response to comments Merkel made to Suddeutsche Zeitung, where she addressed the question of whether the League would be allowed in her European People’s Party (EPP)

"It is clear that for example as regards the policy on migrants we have very different approaches. This is already a reason why the EPP will not open up to Mr. Salvini's party,” she said.

She spoke a week before Europeans go to polls to elect candidates to the European Parliament. Nationalist and anti-immigration parties are expected to do well, particularly in France, Italy, Hungary and the U.K., amid long-standing concerns about mass migration onto the continent.

In Britain, the anti-European Union Brexit Party is expected to come first over anger at the failure of the British government to leave the bloc after the Brexit vote in 2016.

"They are certainly important, special elections,” Merkel said. “Many people are worried about Europe and so am I.”

Salvini has frequently targeted Merkel and Macron as he sought to defend his government’s stance on migration. In January he responded to criticism from Macron by accusing France of turning back migrants at the border.

"I don't take lessons on humanity and generosity from Macron,” he later added.

Theresa May’s Tories face huge defeat in EU elections; Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party surges

Amid the seemingly endless stream of defeats and delays, polls are suggesting that May’s Tories will bear the brunt of the blame from Brits angry and exhausted by the Brexit saga, and will be punished severely when the country goes to the ballot box next week. Farage’s new party is capitalizing on anger in pro-Brexit areas at May’s handling of Brexit as well as the calls from politicians in both the Tory and Labour parties for a second referendum.

“Westminster has betrayed your vote for Brexit,” Farage said Tuesday, tweeting out a Brexit Party ad. “It’s time to fight back.”

Seems we are witnessing the death knell of Globalism and its Elitists.

Nationalism is the basis for the development of the modern nation-state. According to Leon- Baradat, nationalism "calls on people to identify with the interests of their national group and to support the creation of a state - a nation-state - to support those interests.

So you think the EU should be disbanded?

You're quoting Nigel Farage - what do you know about him? What did he do as a Euro MP? What did he run on during Brexit?

A treadmill.

I have been a big fan of Farage since he addressed the EU Parliament after the Brexit vote.

Big big fan of Farage. He tells it like it is and is not afraid to do it either. I liken him to a British Trump.

Eh, the EU is a socialist type of entity anyway. It should be dissolved.

I like when 40 celebrates fascists without really knowing who they are. It's just good old comedy.

Why is it when an idiot says something that proves your point, it's gotta be cool to post it?

Uh, because it is News and I post it for discussion.

That is what we do here, no?

Australia's conservative coalition scores stunning political victory in general election, defies polls forecasting loss


“It's Australians who have worked hard, started a business, started a family, bought a home.
These are the quiet Australians who have won a great victory tonight.”
— Prime Minister Scott Morrison

https://www.foxnews.com/world/australia-conservative-coalition-election-win

Hmmm, seems the Aussies have a Silent Majority too.

Well everything works in cycles. This cycle? Bat crap crazy has come back in style. For a minute.....

Something to note for the crazies on the forum who want to continue the diametric name calling of 'liberal' vs. 'conservative', the 'conservative' who won ran on the 'liberal' party.

Well they forgot that fiscal responsibility was a conservative value. And yes, I said, "was".

They forgot that a huge rise in subsidizing farmers is government welfare and falls under their very own socialist policy guidelines. And they forget that a tariff actually works as a tax against the American people.

I think it's more reflective of the term liberal being coined in the 1600's to identify the philosophy that men and women are born equal, no matter if your parents are royalty, slaves or just workers. 400 years later it really has no semblance to our current political climate. If someone doesn't believe in liberalism then what do they believe in? Even our most reactionary members like 40 would fully agree with John Locke and Hobbes. Simultaneously conservativism isn't a political philosophy it is a reaction. There is no coherent philosophy in conservativism throughout the world or time. These terms are so bogus and just show how bereft of political intelligence America is.

Ahh,, Selective responding...

Farage got milkshaked!

People in the EU, mainly in the UK, are throwing milk shakes on fascists and it's extremely funny.

I wonder if Scotland Yard will get involved and bring the milkshakes to the Yard.

J\C

From the same people that agree with scumbags like stormy Daniels philosophy , as gospel, watta a strange bunch LMAO

Farage looked like The World's Biggest Bird targeted him for bomb bay release.

You voted for the guy that paid for her silence. It looks like you approve of laying with and paying off porn stars. Face it, you helped elect a scum bag and support him daily.

#familyvalues

The candidate pushing tax hikes was sure to win.
The media and the elites backed him.
The polls all said he would come out on top.
Even the exit polls said he would win.
But he didn't.

Bill Shorten, Labour Party leader, lost Australia's general election. The pundits are in a state of shock!

In Australia voters were not prepared to sacrifice in the name of climate change, and they didn't want to risk their prosperity by taxing the rich!

Very interesting. Very interesting indeed!

Man your like a broken record ...very annoying

sorry 40 that was ment for PIT

Yet Trump just put a huge tax on American consumers via a tariff and you seem to support that tax. You only support tax hikes your orange God gives you.

Your, "Trump is my God" shtick gets pretty old too.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is what a steady childhood diet of paint chips looks like.

You mean Pits constant psycho babble about Trump

At least I'm not attached to Trump's jock strap. Oh that's right, he isn't a "sports or serve our country" kind of guy. No jock strap or guts involved with him. Only a loud mouth.

Hmmmm. A new low.

Are you actually using the damage done to so many children from lead in old paint in their humble housing, as a weapon for insult?

Perhaps in the future we can expect cracks about the failings of those who grew up drinking Flint, Michigan's water?

Not a good look.

I would expect it from you but Clem?

Sometimes reality bites.

You support a president who mocks disabled people and now wish to play the sensitivity card?

#hypocrisyinaction

Cons can only play the victim. Their pathological psychology is based all around victimhood.

Im surprised 40 you should expect anything and every thing from the elite haters here I know I do

No.

I'm being generous by offering a plausible explanation for the quality of posts he regularly contributes.

You have a better explanation for misusing a simple message board and then using the word 'ment?'

Christ.
Click on a Dude/respond to a Dude. It's not that hard.

And... he lives in America.
He should use English like the rest of us.



Besides... after some of the posts you've shared with us, do you actually think you're in a position to shame me? Or anybody else, for that matter?

Elitism

The belief or attitude that individuals who form an elite—a select group of people with a certain ancestry, intrinsic quality, high intellect, wealth, special skills, or experience—are more likely to be constructive to society as a whole, and therefore deserve influence or authority greater than that of others.[1]
