• New government: Italy overcomes its crisis in 20 days without Salvini or elections
  • The Portrait: The metamorphosis of Giuseppe Conte, the lawyer of the Italians
  • Power.Matteo Salvini, the false step of 'Il Capitano'

The two Italias reappear today more distant than ever. While the Prime Minister, Giuseppe Conte, illustrated the program with which he intends to govern the rest of the legislature, outside the Chamber of Deputies Matteo Salvini and the leader of the ultra-rightist Brothers of Italy, Giorgia Meloni, convened a massive demonstration in protest for the new Government born of the alliance between the Five Star Movement and the Democratic Party.

From early in the morning, hundreds of people gathered around the lower house to demand new elections. With Italian flags and no visible signs of any political party, some protesters raised their arms reproducing the fascist salute when the national anthem began to sound through the speakers.

The right-wing center led by Salvini considers the new government to be accused of being only interested in maintaining their privileges a "fraud." "Spend a week from being Labor Minister to Foreign Minister ... I admire this ability," Salvini said ironically in reference to his former ally and Five Star leader, Luigi Di Maio. The leader of the League said he will make a "serious opposition" in Parliament but also "among the people." "Today, a part of Italy, in my opinion the majority in the country, has taken to the streets to ask for new elections."

The party of Silvio Berlusconi, Fuerza Italia, third 'leg' of the center-right coalition that governs together in several regions and municipalities of the country, was unmarked from the demonstration. "We are convinced to make a firm and tough opposition without compromise, but we believe in parliamentary democracy ," he said in a note.

This Monday's concentration at the gates of Parliament is only the beginning of what is to come. Salvini promises to take the political battle to the streets and has announced a new demonstration on October 19 in Rome, just a few days before the anniversary of the march on the capital organized by Benito Mussolini in 1922 that marked the beginning of fascism and that every year It brings together hundreds of nostalgics.
