Demographic angst is a terrifying thing, especially to leaders concerned about poor returns from horizontal folk dancing. Viktor Orbán of Hungary is particularly apprehensive that precious Hungarian blood is not being propagated, facing dilution, if not disappearance, from hordes of swarthy immigrants from the Middle East and Africa.
In Italy, the country’s imminent first female prime minister is much of that same view. Giorgia Meloni speaks about being a “woman, mother [and] Christian” with messianic purpose: to defend “God, country and family”. The stress is on mother virtue rather than female rights, the latter only being relevant when it comes to highlighting migrant violence in fits of what has come to be known as femonationalism.
Unlike other conservatives and those of the Right in the Anglo-American tradition, welfare, in her political constellation, is not ill-fare. People – provided they come from a certain traditional demographic and background – should be supported and encouraged by the state. What matters is that they are the right sort of people.
To that end, Meloni insists on a pro-natalist platform to arrest Italy’s demographic decline, including reducing VAT rates on nappies, baby bottles and formula; increasing child benefits; and making childcare free.
The spectre she claims to combat is that of the Great Replacement, a view promoted by the French novelist and critic Renaud Camus. In his essay, “Le Grand Remplacement”, he describes a process of colonisation in reverse, with native “white” Europeans deluged and eventually overcome by black and brown immigrants. “You have one people, and in the space of a generation you have a different people,” he warns threateningly.
The corollary of such natalist welfare is a deep suspicion of the dark forces of the market and the sinister elements that operate beyond government control. In this, Meloni shares ground with those on other sides of the political aisle concerned about the more destructive effects of predatory capital and its handmaidens.
On such policies as unwanted refugees, she sounds awfully like her counterparts in other parts of the European Union and the EU-exited Britain. While governments in Copenhagen and London have put forth programs to process asylum seekers in third countries, notably Rwanda, aping the grotesque Australian model of offshore processing, Meloni has repeatedly promoted much the same thing in the lead up to the 2022 elections.
She has even advocated the use of a “naval blockade” to halt illegal immigration, justifying it as a humanitarian gesture to prevent deaths at sea. In this, she could hardly improve on Australia’s own justifications for its Pacific concentration camps on Nauru and Manus Island. We will bar you, detain you, and torture you in order to save you.
Meloni has managed to weave a number of themes in a populist narrative she delivers with the subtlety of a sledgehammer, claiming that Italy’s liberals have facilitated “the project of ethnic substitution of European citizens, desired by big capital and international speculators”. Like her Hungarian counterpart, she has pointed the finger at the financing activities of George Soros, drawing heavily from the anti-Semitic trope of the Jewish usurer.
Allegations abound that the leader of the Fratelli d’Italia (Brothers of Italy) is a fascist. Given that the Italian constitution openly prohibits “the reorganisation in any form of the dissolved Fascist Party”, this would be a remarkable coup indeed. That said, the party can be said to be the spiritual heir to Movimento Sociale Italiano (Italian Social Movement), a creation of Benito Mussolini’s supporters after the Second World War.
In an interview with Corriere Magazine, Meloni explained how she had a “serene relationship with fascism”. Mussolini, she conceded, had made “several mistakes”. Despite producing “a lot”, this fact did not “save him.”
In 1995, MSI joined a larger agglomeration of parties to become the Alleanza Nazionale (National Alliance). AN, in turn, joined Silvio Berlusconi’s centre-right People of Freedom party in 2009, where Meloni found herself Minister for Youth. Three years later, she was part of a splinter group that ultimately became the Brothers of Italy. Italian politics remains, as it has been for decades, populated by changelings.
It would be far from accurate to claim that Italian voters have somehow lost their marbles and lent dramatically rightwards in a fit of absentmindedness. The formula is common to that of other elections witnessed since the election of Donald Trump in 2016: despair and disgust, tempered by considerable apathy.
The continued rule of Orbán, and Meloni’s victory, are also points of transatlantic celebration. Former US Secretary of State was full of congratulation, claiming that, “Italy deserves and needs strong conservative leadership.”
Another former US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, forgot her political stripes in also cheering the prospect of a Meloni victory, showing that smashing glass ceilings is far more important than a sound reading of history. “The election of the first woman prime minister in a country always represents a break with the past, and that is certainly a good thing.”
In forming a government, Meloni will have to keep a close eye on the antics of prospective coalition partner and perennial Eurosceptic Matteo Salvini of Lega, who is hankering for his old post at the interior ministry. His message on decentralising power jars with the centralist sentiments of Meloni’s. With 66 MPs and 29 senators, he is mischief-bound as, for that matter, will be others seeking a position in government.
The program of Italy’s new government will be troubling to immigrants, minorities, women, the LGBT community and all groups that do not hum the regressive tune of the Brothers. But it is hard to see what those in Brussels will or can do. The EU is as complicit as any in the undermining of rights when it comes to, for instance, irregular migrants, keeping up barriers as much as possible, repelling the unwanted (Ukrainians excepted). An ugly continent, politically speaking, just got uglier.

This got published here? This is exactly the sort of commentary you would get from the same crowd that wants Ukrainian victory, Assad being toppled, etc. This is the standing Washington consensus view right here.
Nobody contests whether the Great Replacement is happening, people only disagree over whether it’s desirable.
Weird. When did SouthFront turn into the Guardian?
You stupid racists. Cheering the Chechen Muslims killing your racist White brothers but got angry for your BS to be called out.
Meloni is not to be trusted. She just kept spreading slogans to confuse those opposing WEF but I suspect she pushes the same agenda. Have you heard her talking about PEACE with Russia vs Ukraine, about the rights of Russian people and personal freedom for every person?
Nobody needs to hear your shitty fascist rhetoric. GTFO.
This article is great
Hey Ramon. Take a look at the votes. It’s the shitty anti-fascist rhetoric which isn’t welcome.
So you just proved that there is a massive amount of fascists here. Awesome stuff SF. Your base showed their true colors. Really fighting nazis are ya?
Ashke-Nazis, yea. The ones we were always talking about.
“The EU is as complicit as any in the undermining of rights when it comes to, for instance, irregular migrants, keeping up barriers as much as possible, repelling the unwanted (Ukrainians excepted). An ugly continent, politically speaking, just got uglier.”
I am sorry , but such statements are typical to bring trouble to Europe on the migration front. I know very well what problems in Europe exist , because I worked some years as a social worker with migrants. It is not the “ugly continent” , what you are describing. The very most people here want to help the world and welcome the real victims , but we are fed up with all the fakes , criminals and fanatic , ideolgical false migrants , with all the LGBT narratives and many other lies. Many Europeans got the impression , it is all just a big deception. “Repelling the unwanted” is the sort of accusation , which derides the real helpers. We want to defend the borders not against the real migrants but against the migrants which are misused als migration weapons to destroy Europe. This is essential to understand if you try to build some reasonable opinion about it. And for those who are welcome , we must care much much more than the leftist and globalist movements like the NGOs of G. Soros do. To bring for example millions children to Europe and then abandon them in the hands of slave traders and pedophils , is not the right way to solve the migration problems. There is much to write about , but my impression is , the author doesn’t understand the basics or writes false on purpose. In this sense the article is totally wrong.
This pro globalist usurers author states that Meloni will be troubling to women!!! She will be only troubling to those women that are convinced that men are inferior and to lesbians, which Italy does not need. Then he states that this continent, which has accepted and financed millions of fake refugees which often commit rape and are more prone to criminal activity,is bad and ugly. Does the author get a monetary reward from his masters for promoting the cancellation of national identities??
The imbecile that scribbled this globalist boilerplate..should be shipped out on the next banana boat along with all the vermin he obviously supports.. preferably in the hold..with all the African criminals released from third world prisons and that gorgy soreass gave maps and cash and phones to….so that they could invade your homelands.. and rape your sister…
possibly even eat her…. as they have …
An ugly social “scientist” just wrote an even uglier article.
It’s not surprising Southfront always has to beg for money when they publish such crap.
Just another WEF clone like Ardern, Sandu, Macron et al
Off course “naval blockades”, “the wall”, “barbed wires”, “refugee camps”, “sanctions”, “to maintain our European race and roots” are the only solutions. Because we cant stop the cause of it, our wars on the their soil cant we?
Someone called the Europeans for degenerates. It certainly sounds like it everytime they open their mouth.
“Migrants” have NO rights in Europe. “Refugees” of bad economic decisions of african goverments are owed NOTHING by european citizens. For all the usurious banksters that put these goverments in debt shackles are placed in the west, the average person gains ABSOLUTELY NOTHING of the profits of the IMF, and has no blame for this system. “Immigrants” looking for work in the EU should _ALL_ be sent back, the diversification of the labour market breaks unions, lowers wages, stifles innovation, and brings with it EXTREME crime surges. Example #1 Sweden used to be among the safest, lowest crime countries on earth. Enter 2 million “refugees” and today it’s the EU rape capital. Foreign gangs of gangsters run many suburbs, and the citizens live in fear of speaking out against it. As the powers that be, for all the above mentioned reasons. Demand that the surge in parasitic, socialy destructive, criminal foreigners continue.
These people need to be sent back, along with any children they have had living in Europe. Any women who want to “stay with their beloved Abdi” may return as well if that is what they desire.
We left Africa in the hands of these people because they have the right to their own countries and to run them as they see fit. Not in order to have them invade us and do a reverse colonisation on behalf of shady economic elites and traitrous politicians !
Can’t Southfront do better than this liberal “woke” garbage? Really disappointing…
Yes, YOU are the disease and their covaid$ death squirt the cure.
The Pan-Europe
Few people know that one of the main initiators of the process of European integration, was also the man who designed the genocide plan of the Peoples of Europe. It is a dark person, whose existence is unknown to the masses, but the elite considers him as the founder of the European Union. His name is Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi. His father was an Austrian diplomat named Heinrich von Coudenhove-Kalergi (with connections to the Byzantine family of the Kallergis) and his mother the Japanese Mitsu Aoyama. Kalergi, thanks to his close contacts with all European aristocrats and politicians, due to the relationships of his nobleman-diplomat father, and by moving behind the scenes, away from the glare of publicity, he managed to attract the most important heads of state to his plan, making them supporters and collaborators for the “project of European integration”.
In 1922 he founded the “Pan-European” movement in Vienna, which aimed to create a New World Order, based on a federation of nations led by the United States. European integration would be the first step in creating a world government. Among the first supporters, including Czech politicians Tomáš Masaryk and Edvard Beneš and the banker Max Warburg, who invested the first 60,000 marks. The Austrian Chancellor Ignaz Seipel and the next president of Austria, Karl Renner, took the responsibility for leading the “Pan-European” movement. Later, French politicians, such as Léon Bloum, Aristide Briand, Alcide De Gasperi, etc will offer their help.
With the rise of Fascism in Europe, the project was abandoned and the “Pan-European” movement was forced to dissolve, but after the Second World War, Kalergi, thanks to frantic and tireless activity and the support of Winston Churchill, the Jewish Masonic Lodge B’nai B’rith and major newspapers like the New York Times, the plan manages to be accepted by the United States Government. The CIA later undertakes the completion of the project. The essence of the Kalergi plan
In his book ‘Praktischer Idealismus’, Kalergi indicates that the residents of the future “United States of Europe” will not be the People of the Old Continent, but a kind of sub-humans, products of miscegenation. He clearly states that the peoples of Europe should interbreed with Asians and coloured races, thus creating a multinational flock with no quality and easily controlled by the ruling elite.
(Rough translation German – English of Praktischer Idealismus – Practical Idealism HERE.)
Kalergi proclaims the abolition of the right of self-determination and then the elimination of nations with the use of ethnic separatist movements and mass migration. In order for Europe to be controlled by an elite, he wants to turn people into one homogeneous mixed breed of Blacks, Whites and Asians. Who is this elite however? Kalergi is particularly illuminating on this:
The man of the future will be of mixed race. The races and classes of today will gradually disappear due to the elimination of space, time, and prejudice. The Eurasian-negroid race of the future, similar in appearance to the Ancient Egyptians, will replace the diversity of peoples and the diversity of individuals. Instead of destroying European Judaism, Europe, against her will, refined and educated this people, driving them to their future status as a leading nation through this artificial evolutionary process. It’s not surprising that the people that escaped from the Ghetto-Prison, became the spiritual nobility of Europe. Thus, the compassionate care given by Europe created a new breed of aristocrats. This happened when the European feudal aristocracy crashed because of the emancipation of the Jews [due to the actions taken by the French Revolution]

Somewhere in this nigh incomprehensible screed
Is some israeli advocating the destruction of white europe by the invasion of africans and arabs
Kikes will always try to infiltrate and subvert. They must be taught humility and brought to heel before their eventual eradication by the people they are attempting to destroy.
Funny how its anti semetic to advocate diversity in Israel but a saintly act to advocate breeding with subhuman niggers
The British gov’t, in their wisdom, sought fit to send these ‘refugees’ to a country already infamous for explosive deadly violence. Maybe having the coastguard patrol the channel and tow these dingy’s back to their starting point. They will run dry of fuel and money before the state does.
EU country’s couldn’t wait to welcome their ‘refugees’. Blighty wanted none of it, so let them stay in europe.
