European spring to forge a new equilibrium to replace the influence of Germany and France

During a January 9 visit to Poland, Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini said that populists from Italy and Poland should spark a "European spring" and forge a "new equilibrium" to replace the influence of Germany and France in the European Parliament.

Italy's Prime Minister, Giuseppe Conte, said on Monday that the European Union risks collapsing unless it is able to find common ground on mass migration. Europe Could "Collapse" Over Migration Says Italy PM; Salvini Insists "Paris-Berlin Axis" Must Change

Salvini knocked France and Germany for "dictating legislature" over the past decade, adding that he and his allies in other EU countries "want to change Europe, not destroy it," "Everything has been done based on the Paris-Berlin axis." "I am trying to put together an alliance focusing on jobs and families," Salvini stated. "In Italy we have done better than the governments of Mario Monti and Matteo Renzi, in Europe we’ll do better than Juncker and Schulz."

Today begins a journey that will continue in the coming months for a different Europe, for a change of the European Commission, of European policies, which puts at the center the right to life, work, health, safety, all that the European elites, financed by [billionaire Hungarian philanthropist George] Soros and represented by Macron, deny..." — Matteo Salvini, Italian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior.

We propose a common program to be offered to other parties and peoples in Europe founded on certain themes, like economic growth, security, the family, Europe's Christian roots — themes that some in Brussels have denied....

"We have started a journey of ideas in a European Parliament that will be different from the socialist-center-right duopoly that has always governed Europe.... The only certainty I have of the European elections is that the socialists and the communists will always be less in Brussels — they have already done enough damage....

the Bank of Italy and Consob, the country’s stock market regulator, should be "reduced to zero, more than changing one or two people, reduced to zero", or in other words eliminated, and that “fraudsters” who inflicted losses on Italian savers should "end up in prison for a long time." - Salvini

Breakup of anti democracy, tyrannical, EU ‘can’t be ruled out’ if Brussels tries to enforce pro-immigration policies against people's wishes - Orban

Trump is pressing the EU on the issue of tariffs and NATO spending. He wants to break down the artificial financial support the EU receives to fund its ‘superior democratic socialism’ that U.S. liberals of the Bernie Sanders persuasion believe in.

Brexit represents an existential threat to the inevitability of modern liberalism.
the Brits have to be made into voiceless tax-cows milked until they are depleted. That’s what socialism is, a giant tax vacuum which destroys capital and innovation.

And that is where the EU is today. They have run out of the British people’s willingness to fund their dreams of creating a better version of the U.S.S.R.

So is Italy. So is Poland, the Giles Jaunes in France, Hungary, Austria, Spain, the Czech Republic, and even Germany itself.

In the U.S., Trump refuses to pay for Europe’s externalities like defense, education and medical care. He’s attacking the fundamental argument made for socialism today.

The Council of Ministers will need to approve any sanctions imposed by the PACE. A session is pending, and we will do our best to adopt relevant decisions," Subbotin told … most CoE states want Russia to remain a member. "Under these circumstances, it is strange that we are talking about withdrawal or expulsion at all," he said, adding, "The situation is serious, and the risk is high."... We are only going to come back when conditions are created for the full reinstatement of our voting rights,

Salvini: what kind of Europe is that? One that with the Bolkestein directive (the Internal Market Directive 2006/123/EC on the laws of the single market — ed. note Sputnik) jeopardises 300,000 jobs, and with the European standards for agriculture and fishery — millions of jobs? One that is imposed on us by the Fornero law ("Fornero" law — 2011 pension law, extremely unpopular in Italy — ed. note Sputnik), one that tells us that Italy cannot reduce taxes, one that did nothing to help us with the migration issue?

Therefore, Italians, as the EU continues hitting them on the head, are asking themselves: "Why do we have to keep on paying for all this?

We will find mutual understanding with everyone: China, Russia, USA, Brazil, Israel, and Poland. We are committed to love, not to war…
