MILAN — Euroskeptic populist parties formed a new and expanded right-wing alliance on Monday that aims to become the strongest faction in the European Parliament and seeks to radically transform European Union policies on migration, security, family and environment.
“Today at this table there are no nostalgic extremists,” Salvini said. “The only nostalgics are in power in Brussels. Today, we look ahead with a clear memory of what happened in the past, but the tired debate of right, left, fascist, communist, is not what makes us passionate.” The vote, which involves 705 seats this year, is run as national ballots in each of the bloc’s states. National political parties with common ideology then unite in EU-wide groups, like the centre-right EPP, the centre-left S&D Socialists or the liberal, pro-business ALDE.
Salvini met last week in Paris with National Rally leader Marine Le Pen to cement their long-time alliance before the expansion announcement. He said the participation of the other ENF parties wasn’t planned for Monday. Instead, they were expected at a rally in Milan on May 18. “As interior minister for 10 months, the No. 1 risk in Italy and Europe is Islamic extremism, Islamic fanaticism, Islamic terrorism,” Salvini said. “There are extreme-right and extreme-left minorities in Italy and in Europe, they fortunately are controlled and of limited numbers.”

What right-wing violent extremists and jihadists have in commonOpinion: Both think that their way of life is under existential threat and that only extreme violence can save their souls Out of the two violet ideologies one out kills the other Need to add the far left and antifa to this list. jihadis have God on their side though so that makes theirs the single most dangerous ideology in earth. Both want to control women. Both believe in some ridiculous idea of purity. Both believe in demonizing the “other” whatever they believe the “other” to be. It’s really not that hard to figure out the similarities.

‘This must change’: Canada has failed to effectively curtail climate change, environment watchdog says'This must change': Canada has failed to effectively curtail climate change, environment watchdog says It isn't us causing climate change. It is China and India. Canada can't do much more so stay out of our pockets! The headline doesn't quite make sense. Canada can, on its own curtail its emissions. It cannot curtail climate change per se, because it is an individual actor - and that's not what the environment watchdog said. Spot on. Rising emissions are unacceptable this day and age.
