The threat of a conservative 3-party coalition led by Giorgia Meloni governing Italy is causing panic among the Leftists in the European Union. EU Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, made a stunning threat just days before Italian citizens elected their new “conservative” government.
REMIX News European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is being accused of election interference after threatening to use “tools” if the wrong election result is achieved in Italy’s national elections, which took place this Sunday, giving conservatives a decisive victory.
“We will see the result of the vote in Italy,” said von der Leyen. “If things go in a difficult direction — and I’ve spoken about Hungary and Poland — we have the tools.” Von der Leyen made the comment while responding to a journalist after a talk she gave at Princeton University in the United States.
The comments from the EU commission president, arguably the most powerful figure from any EU institution, have been met with shock from the Italian political class.
Von Der Leyen was making a clear reference to the European Commission’s ability to cut funding to member states it views as violating “rule of law,” a powerful tool Brussels can use to punish any democratically-elected government in Europe. Just last week, the commission proposed cutting €7.5 billion in funding to Hungary, with the country’s conservative government having long been a thorn in the side of the EU over its opposition to mass migration and support for traditional values.
Meloni’s positions, in many ways, are no different than Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s. “There is no possible mediation. Yes to the natural family. No to the LGBT lobbies. No to the violence of Islam, yes to safer borders, no to mass immigration, yes to work for our people, and no to major international finance,” said Meloni at a campaign event earlier this year.
Meloni’s political beliefs mean the EU may respond with extreme sanctions against Italy if her party comes to power. However, unlike Hungary, where the population is overwhelmingly in favor of staying in the EU, Italy is already becoming increasingly skeptical of Brussels, according to polling data. If the EU were to cut funding to Italy, any such sanction measure could raise tensions in an already divided Europe and potentially spark a backlash among the Italian public.
Italian politicians are already responding to von der Leyen’s threat. “What is this, a threat? This is shameful arrogance,” tweeted Matteo Salvini, the leader of Italy’s right-wing League party. He asked von der Leyen to “respect the free, democratic and sovereign vote of the Italian people.” He also said on Italian TV that “if anyone in Brussels thinks of cutting the funds that belong to Italy, because the League wins the elections, then we have to rethink this Europe,” adding that “this is institutional bullying.”

Von der Leyen is one of the most vile and evil characters within the EU administration and a prototype of someone who came to power without any electorate behind. Her repressive mind set is on par with former Soviet or Eastern European commie leaders. Both in her role as former German secretary of defense or today’s EU bureaucrat she was target of criminal prosecution but saved each time by her patrons shielding her.
Is it any wonder she is Merkel’s former ‘chamber maid’ lifted into power by the former Chancellor?
Hart, you mean she was assigned to that post, not elected?
Merkel and Macron put her into that position and told EU bureaucrats to cope with that. She was not voted into office by a public electorate.
Didn’t think so.
God Hater Fascist Hitler and his God Hater Nazis never died. The monsters have been re-born in Merkel, Macron, Ursula Von Der Leyen and the EU.
Ursula Von Der Leyen smiles with DEMONIC DELIGHT having maliciously prepared evil plans against the caring, courageous, patriotic, ethical Italian Party
Please God, Protect with Your Guardian, Warrior Holy Angels our heroes and the patriotic innocents in Italy, Britain and Europe who long to be free.
Oh and that they will do then the eu is a dictatorship and not a democracy then the eu and her courts are full with antifa greens and claus schwabb followers and they have many tools to stop democracy AND THEY WILL STOP IT.

If that is true, then in the EU, there are actually no free elections. The elections are just shams.
Good morning, this i have been writing for years and some way more worse things but im a nazi and idiot they say but reality shows im right. The cool thing is that they see it and some even apologize but i would rather be wrong and an idiot because this will cost us all.
It looks like “democracy” in Europian Union only works if people vote for the Leftists..Not just in Europian Union but in USA too,if you chose the wrong side ie Conservative side ,sudenly there is threat to “democracy”…
I am subscribed to a few body language websites. Throughout the years, I have learned so much. I hope to read little Ursula’s level of confidence very soon.
Meanwhile, Tucker Carlson on Meloni’s outstandsting victory and may GOD accompany her on her path forward to save Europe.:
Every so called member or leader of the EU needs to hang for their crimes against Europe
Her family name tells me of which Class of people she comes from, this is THE Elite of European Kings and Queens.
At the Entrance to the European Union Parliament is a sign which states..
National sovereignty is the root cause of the most crying evils of our times.
The only final remedy for this is evil is The Federal Union of The Peoples.
Scary.
Wow someone finally saw this. I have told people this and for telling them this i am a nazi and worse. This is the plan all along and it will cost alot of blood to achive this goal. The problem is that europe is too old to change it and the many different people and cultures will never give up their identity, ok germany will and has done this just as germany gave up her sovereighnity, shit germany cant make a single law without asking the eu first and germany has given up her rights on her taxes then in not doing so the whole eu would break apart because its our german money that finances this monster. Germany has a (vertreter) representativ democracy. That means that we vote for them and they can do whatever they want in our name and we have no say what so ever. This democracy is the cancer in our democracy. Hunt them down an put them down.
that is a direct threat against a democratic voted in gov. she should be arrested , i hope the rest of europe sees this as a wake up call and start voting these morons out of office
It ought to be an shock in more places than Italy. This EU increasingly seems to moving into being an empire ruled from the above with direct orders being issued down to the subjects rather than the process of policy being formed from the member nations. Considering this started as an trade organization, the EU must increasingly seen as empire.
My own personal experience with an citizen of Belgium made me so very aware that I was a American citizen, and NOT an subject needing to bend the knee to some ruler in the command structure of this EU.
Right now Ursula von Der Leyen is so truly clearly possessed with this EU imperial mindset.
F her. Go, Prime Minister Meloni! Enough bullshit.
Do not hear that much about Greece feeding crescent hyenas to sharks lately. Italy should feed Muslims to sharks likewise and ignore the EU !
I lost the link but irrelevant, the LEFT always ends up fighting itself. And if they think they will come out of this united, they are mistaken. It will be a make-believe united front but internal wars will weaken them.
GLORY BE TO GEORGIA MELONI and the team! This is David VS Goliath.
“Why did Italy’s left fail to present a united front?
According to Vampa, the left’s biggest mistake was failing to present a united front at the 25 September election.
“That was, I think, a big mistake made by Enrico Letta, the leader of the Democratic Party (PD),” Vampa said. “He tried to stick to Draghi’s agenda and, for that reason, he refused to form a coalition with the Five Star Movement, which determined the collapse of the Draghi government.”
The snap elections were triggered by the Five Star Movement’s withdrawal of support for Draghi’s government, which led to the outgoing prime minister offering his resignation (twice).
The right-wing coalition, on the other hand, has reunited parties which had been part of the Draghi coalition as well as Brothers of Italy, who had never supported the technocrat’s leadership.”
