Italy’s new Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni will head a right-wing coalition that has vowed to crack down on illegal immigration from Africa and the Middle East. Meloni has campaigned on bringing in more Christian immigrants so as not to dilute the culture and character of the country.
Euromed MonitorThe name of Meloni’s party itself, Brothers of Italy (Fratelli d’Italia – FdI), already represents its core values: brotherhood, as in patriarchal masculinity, and citizenship, as in national and cultural identity, state membership, and the state’s prerogative to include or exclude certain people. Despite being the only Italian political party with a woman leading it, FdI is probably the most distant to feminism.
Among the particularly targeted is the illegal immigrant—the unwanted, the undocumented, and the ultimate caricature of an “unnatural” and dangerous person. Meloni’s party blatantly spouts the same rhetoric that has been present in Italian politics for some time now, especially within Matteo Salvini’s League party, in which illegal Muslim immigration and security go hand in hand and are intextricably tied together.
Soaked in Euroskeptic national conservatism, and firm supporters of defending Europe’s Judea-Christian roots, the Brothers of Italy (FdI) party uses the motto “Dio, patria, famiglia” (“God, homeland, family”).
On asylum in particular, it’s likely that the Meloni government will try to take the same discriminatory steps as other European governments, like Denmark, to reduce illegal alien arrivals at all costs, reduce the level of integration of Muslim migrants and refugees within the host society, and criminalize the work of human rights defenders and NGOs aiding illegal migrants, especially those who rescue them at sea.
In 2019, when the Sea Watch boat carrying 42 people rescued in the Mediterranean entered the port of Lampedusa despite the government’s explicit prohibition, Meloni was already clear on how she would manage migration flows. She proposed arresting the crew, repatriating the people on board “immediately”, and sinking the ship, as it went “against the will of the Italian government, Italian state, and Italian sovereignty with its aim of bringing illegal immigrants into our territory”.
National HeraldMeloni called for camps, or hotspots, to be set up in North Africa to check the migrants before they leave the continent. “We could certainly talk to the Libyan authorities about this,” she said.
In a controversial opinion piece in the Corriere della Sera daily on Monday, Meloni contrasted the current wave of migration into Italy with Italians migrating abroad in decades past, saying Italians had gone in search of work, whereas the current migrants aimed to live off the state.
According to reports, Italy receives the majority of refugees and asylum seekers who reach Europe.
Within their political programme, FdI affirms their commitment to defend national and European borders through “fighting against the activities of NGOs that favour illegal immigration”, stricter border controls, and further agreements with North African authorities to prevent migrants’ initial departures, as well as deals between EU and third countries regarding management of returns, naval blockades, and the creation of hotspots in non-European territories.
It’s not just the policies and practices strictly concerning asylum and migration issues that will impact these illegal migrant’s-called “rights” in Italy, but a larger political program that boasts “support for the Christian birth rate and the family” and encourages “the return to Italy of Italians abroad and people of Italian origin”.
It’s a political party that, only two days after the elections, abstained from voting on a document aimed at the full application of the right to safe and legal abortion in the region of Liguria, proposing instead the presence of “pro-life” associations in every hospital where the voluntary termination of pregnancy is practiced.
It’s the FdI’s whole political message, which is part of a well-defined global movement that includes Hungary’s Orbán, Spain’s Abascal, Poland’s Morawiecki, and Brazil’s Bolsonaro, and is all about preserving “national and cultural identities” that are white, Christian, and western.

Meloni and her government must go after the leftists/african/muslim loving/NWO bastards in Italy. Do what must be done to extinguish them forever from Italy. At the same time, go after and rid the country of african/muslim invading parasites.

Klaus Schwab reveals where he stands on Georgia Meloni:
“She is a danger to our glorious dream of a New World Order because she believes in things like family and the infinite worth of the individual – which, I must remind you – are things only fascists believe in.”

When Matteo Salvini was Interior Minister, illegal immigration was virtually ended. Once the Leftists took over, it started up again. Salvini is part of Meloni’s coalition now.
Daniel Erbstoesser says
there you have it. Salvini was booted out from the left and her many friend judges in the courts there. The left, greens are in all of the european courts and yes the eugh (european supreme court) has been taken over. Remember the nice pictures with them all standing in the courtroom with antifa flags rapped around them. That mr. sorros has his puppets allover in the eu and yes the courts, this man has bought many politicians. Question why is mr. melniks (ukraine consulat) 20 year old son not fighting for freedom but sitting in germany. Yep we die for their ideology and they sit fat and happy in our country living off of us. These parasites are ruining our nations and we sit and watch but do nothing.
