Italy: Popular anti-Muslim migration, “Euroceptic” coalition back on track after backlash to President’s sabotage attempt

BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS
Jihad Watch reported several days ago that Italy’s President Sergio Mattarella sabotaged the popular anti-Muslim migration, “Euroceptic” coalition. Mattarella “used his largely ceremonial position as head of state to controversially block the two parties’ previous Cabinet from taking office.”
That led to calls for his impeachment, while leaders of Five-Star and the League began organizing rallies in Italy ahead of fresh elections that were expected to be either in the Fall or early new year. Now, in a rapid turnaround after Mattarella’s “plan unraveled amid public backlash”:
A populist coalition government is back on the cards in Italy, with the anti-establishment Five-Star Movement (M5S) and nationalist League (Lega) ready to submit a new Cabinet.
Kudos to Italian citizens for taking responsibility for the survival of their own nation in the face of leaders who have abandoned them.

A populist coalition government is back on the cards in Italy, with the anti-establishment Five-Star Movement (M5S) and nationalist League (Lega) ready to submit a new Cabinet.
President Sergio Mattarella, an EU loyalist chosen by the political class rather than elected directly by the people, used his largely ceremonial position as head of state to controversially block the two parties’ previous Cabinet from taking office, on grounds that he did not like the proposed economy minister, Paolo Savona — a eurosceptic who has argued for Italy to have a ‘Plan B’ for exiting the euro and readopting a national currency of its own.
The populists vowed to stand by their candidate, with M5S calling for Mattarella’s impeachment and Lega calling for fresh elections — leaving the elderly president free to call on Carlo Cottarelli, a former International Monetary Fund (IMF), to form a technocratic, globalist-friendly ‘caretaker’ administration.
That plan unravelled amid a public backlash when Cottarelli found himself unable to drum up any support for a ‘non-political’ government, and it looked as though Italians would have to head back to the ballot box again and deliver an increased populist mandate — until news today that M5S and Lega had apparently reached a deal to submit another Cabinet to Mattarell, minus the eurosceptic Savona.
“The Five-Star Movement and the League have reached an agreement on a political government headed by Giuseppe Conte as prime minister,” party leaders Luigi Di Maio and Matteo Salvini announced in a joint statement….
