Let’s see what’s out there beyond the coalitions—aside from Carlo Calenda and Gen. Vannacci. And you know what? Suddenly, right after the electoral law with the “super” majority bonus was passed, NOTO conducted a lightning-fast poll revealing that Vannacci had lost a point while Forza Italia and FdI had gained ground, putting the center-right a point ahead of the center-left. Furthermore, after previously claiming Conte was leading Schlein in the “Broad Field” primaries, suddenly—immediately following the electoral law’s approval—Schlein is in the lead. It’s a done deal: they’ll field Schlein, and Meloni will win again. And then there’s non stop military & monetary aid to Kyiv and Zelensky. The end of Europe.
But… regarding the “Outside the Coalition” camp: there’s a new development. She’s a pretty, respectable young woman—a lawyer… if she gets media exposure, she’ll pick up votes. But which ones?
TRANSLATION OF TRANSCRIPT – FRANCESCA ANTINOZZI SPEAKING: The founding congress of Italia Domani was a highly significant, well-attended, and substantive event. We met people from all over Italy with diverse backgrounds, all united by the desire to rebuild a political movement capable of addressing the country’s current challenges. I am delighted to have been elected General Secretary and wish to thank Marco Rizzo and all the members who placed their trust in me. This role is crucial; today, we must bring our project to the people—into local communities, businesses, and the places where citizens face daily struggles regarding employment, housing, healthcare, and family life. There has also been much talk recently about people who previously followed Roberto Vannacci’s initiative now gravitating toward Italia Domani and Marco Rizzo. We must be clear on this point: we are not competing with Roberto Vannacci, nor are we actively poaching supporters. We simply welcome anyone who recognizes the seriousness of our program and shares our vision. If many of his supporters are now looking toward Italia Domani and Marco Rizzo, it may well be that there is an underlying issue within that other movement. Perhaps the focus there is primarily on building an electoral list, whereas many people today are seeking a broader, more structured political project designed to endure over time. In any case, we do not judge leaders based on affiliations or expediency, but solely on what they say and propose. For instance, we share Roberto Vannacci’s stance against war and his views on security. However, we do not agree with some of his statements regarding women and people with disabilities, nor do we share the position he recently expressed in favor of the European Stability Pact. Italia Domani aims to be a free force, ready to acknowledge what is right regardless of its source, yet equally ready to challenge anything that is fundamentally contrary to the interests of the Italian people.
TRANSLATION OF TRANSCRIPT – Right, left, fascism, anti-fascism—are you sure these are the real issues facing Italians today? We refuse to be distracted by artificially created divisions; instead, we want to focus on the real issues concerning families, young people—in short, the Italian people. If you would like to learn more about our proposals, come to Spazio 900 in Rome tomorrow from 2:30 PM onwards to hear the founding congress of Italia Domani with Marco Rizzo.

Well done, Marco—you’ve figured out how the world works. If people vote for Meloni, why not her? She’s more capable and better educated—though maybe not cunning enough… But then again, maybe some rich guy will fall in love with her and provide the funding; you never know these days. Plus, she hasn’t even had any plastic surgery.
Mario Giordano – Speech at the Italia Domani-Marco Rizzo congress. (October 26, 2007)
TRANSLATION OF TRANSCRIPT – Hello Marco, and hello everyone. I know many of you are wondering right now: what is this guy doing here among us? What do we have in common—what connects him to us and our history? Many of you are asking yourselves this, and perhaps I am too. You and I, Marco, come from completely different backgrounds, paths, educational experiences, and life histories. We share very little—except for that Granata heart, that shared suffering we’ve endured together. That binds us, but otherwise, we are so different. And yet, why do we feel we are on the same side today? Because today, the dividing line of history runs along a different boundary—not the old divides of Right vs. Left, or Red vs. Black, White, or Blue, but the divide between the top and the bottom, between the elites and the people. Today, the question to ask is: are you with the elites who want to spend 800 billion on weapons to keep a war going at the expense of the people, or do you want that money spent on pensions and healthcare? We have to ask ourselves: are we with the elites who want an increasingly privatized healthcare system—where only the rich can get treated, as happens today in daily violation of the Constitution—or do we stand with those who say healthcare is a right for everyone? Do we stand with the elites who push full steam ahead for mass immigration, “invasions,” and multiculturalism? Or do we stand with the people who say: let’s defend our borders, our identity, our history, and our security—because integration has been a failed project, one that has been dumped onto the backs of ordinary citizens? These are the questions that need to be asked. And then there is the second point of your political project, Marco: the issue of identity. The issue of identity is everything—it is the central theme—because our identity is being destroyed here through multiculturalism, through Islam, through “woke” ideology, through the inability to speak of family anymore, and through the destruction of our history, our cultural touchstones, and our very language. You can no longer say “illegal immigrant” or “Gypsy”—you can’t even sing songs like Prendi questa mano, zingaro anymore. Before long, we won’t be able to say “Mom” and “Dad”—how will Gianni Morandi sing Fatti mandare dalla mamma a prendere il latte? It will have to be “Have Parent Number One send you to get the milk.” Because the goal is precisely this: to destroy our history, our cultural reference points, our roots, our traditions—everything we’ve learned, everything that anchors us: the land, the history, our grandparents and their grandparents before them. But why? Is this all just a coincidence? No, it is a clear plan—it’s very simple. Because when we are uprooted—when we are left without roots—we become easily manipulated, falling into the hands of the only God that matters today: the God of technology. That is the objective: to uproot us, to strip away our roots, and turn us into slaves to the God of technology—to Big Tech. This is the project, and so we must choose which side to take—we must not let ourselves be fed lies. Think of how many lies we’ve been told over the years, starting with Covid—when they told us (and you remember this well regarding Draghi—a man one isn’t allowed to criticize in Italy) institutional lies. They claimed that if you got vaccinated, you wouldn’t get infected; that was a lie—an institutional lie. They lied, knowing full well they were lying. And how many times have they lied? They lied about the war, about the danger, about the Russians supposedly arriving at Italy’s doorstep—all to justify spending 800 million on weapons. They spun lies about “green” policies to destroy entire sectors of Italian industry. They lied to us about everything—about immigration and integration. The narrative they spun about immigration served a single purpose: to drive down the cost of labor. That is what immigration was used for; as immigration rose, workers’ rights declined. Look at the history: when immigration increased, Italians’ wages and workers’ rights decreased, because that was the function of immigration. And to achieve that, our cities and historic centers were ruined; our children are afraid to take the train; public safety has been destroyed. Safety—that is the battle. We have to choose which side we are on: the side of those who want more immigration, more weapons, and more private healthcare, or the side of the people? And then they’re surprised when people don’t vote the way the elites want—so let’s change the people, or ban the parties, or do away with democracy, because the people simply can’t be listened to. So, which side are we on? Which side are you on? And in the end, Marco, you see that this passion of ours for Toro—it really led us down this very path: the path of standing up for the underdog. Toro, the weak team in the city of the strong—Juve’s city; it is the desire to fight, the drive to stand with the underdog. Yet, if they win—what pride there is in that victory—and if they don’t, they still have the pride of having stood on the right side. Bye everyone.
…………………………………………………………………
It’s not bad. And I did tell you I’d be voting for a party outside the main coalitions. This is the party I think I’ll vote for if they make it onto the ballot; for now, they’re in the “Other Parties” pile. They’re nice people, decent folks—I like them better than Vannacci; they don’t embarrass you, and they speak clearly. Let’s hope for good.
Bye guys, take care.
