Italian nationalists

The Mussolini era seems to have inspired Italy’s far-right prime minister, Georgia Meloni, at least when it comes to the country’s education system, as new regulations to deal with school violence and attacks on teachers certainly resemble a dictatorship.

Europe urgently needs leadership. It has leaders but they cannot pull the European Union in the direction of progress. Italy's Giorgia Meloni can't do it, nor can various leaders in the north who want to push events to the extremes vis-a-vis Russia.
