The Italian writer and author of the book "Gomora" Roberto Saviano expressed his alarm at the danger posed by Giorgia Meloni, who now enjoys a strong position to form the government at the national and international levels, after the victory of the Alliance of Rights in Italy in the legislative elections, noting that this may have an external influence, Because Italy is the laboratory of Europe.
In an interview with the French magazine L'Obs, Roberto Saviano - who has been living under police protection since he published his novel Gomora about the Naples mafia in 2006 and threatened to kill because of it - explained that he was bitter to see the democratic forces completely surrender to the populist forces represented by Georgia Meloni, predicting disastrous results on the left, "I was expecting disaster for the League because of its shameful alliance with the authoritarian regime of (Russian President Vladimir) Putin."
And the author of Gomora - in the interview edited by Julie Clarini and Remy Noyon - saw that Italy is the political laboratory for Europe, and perhaps for others, and said, "We were the first to create a character like Berlusconi's, then we saw Donald Trump arrive in the United States, we made the Red Brigades, and then terrorism spread To other parts of Europe, we launched Operation Clean Hands "Mani Pulite" against the system of corruption and illicit financing of political parties, and it has been simulated. In short, this makes Italy a laboratory."
When asked, is Georgia a real threat to Italy and Europe?
The writer replied, “Yes,” explaining that it is a danger to Italy because of its political impotence, ignorance and lack of experience in the history of the republic, to the point that when she was asked how she would govern the country, she answered without fear of ridicule, “I am a mother and I will rule Italy as a family,” and this represents a danger to Europe, especially France. The vision of a right-wing populist government will make a portion of the electorate feel more confident, giving courage and a chance to win for the National Rally Party.
The danger of an alliance with Urban
However, the real danger for the writer lies in Georgia Meloni forming an axis with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, despite her moderate tactical propaganda during the campaign, because her strategy is to sabotage Europe, to align it with Orban’s positions, as she speaks a liberal language at the American diplomatic table and a sovereign, populist and authoritarian language in Inside.
Meloni's government will be a "post-fascist" government - as the writer says - because Georgia Meloni was adept in this field, and, like other extreme right-wing parties, cleaned the image of formation and eliminated anti-Semitism, racist ideology and unionism, and also retained the neo-fascist symbol of the flame in its logo. , to show that it comes from there but goes to another horizon, and it supports fascist history but goes beyond it to show liberalism.
Roberto Saviano concluded that there is no hope for the Italian left at the moment, at a time when Italy appears more and more as a drug state and a country where the mafia rules with complete impunity, but "with the arrival of Georgia Meloni, we have become similar to some eastern countries with a kind of Balkanization." .
