A new movement against the racist ideology of right-wing Matteo Salvini’s Lega (League) has been mobilising in its tens of thousands across Italy. But Daniele Fulvi questions whether the new "sardines" movement has what it takes to defeat Salvini's racist, nationalist agenda.
Matteo Salvini
Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte announced his resignation on August 20, effectively ending the coalition government of Matteo Salvini’s right-wing Lega (League) and the Five Star Movement (M5S), which has been in power for 14 months, writes Daniele Fulvi.
It has now become clearer than ever: the Italian government coalition operates at the behest of Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister, Matteo Salvini and his party’s racist and reactionary policies, writes Daniele Fulvi.
