The West’s Worm 25 Years On

Responsibilities are blurred, threats are downplayed, the ideology of the aggressors is given less attention, and the alleged guilt of the targeted society is increasingly highlighted. Does this remind you of anything? A virus to be defeated 25 years on from 9/11

THE EDITOR’S EDITORIAL

Lessons from Germany on how to rebel, in Italy, against the Alternative für Putin

Neither underdog nor establishment: almost a tent. Meloni’s ‘right-wing nation’ has many reasons not to be swept away by the German election results and to put up walls against the Italian AfD without paying attention to the polls (except for one). Turning points and case studies

Minor reasons not to give in to hysteria in the face of the AfD’s first major victory

Do not downplay the issue, but do put it into context. The figures for the far-right party are a dangerous warning sign for the future of Germany and Europe, but there have been indications that this form of extremist, anti-European populism is far from irresistible

Democracies at risk when the barriers against anti-Semitism come crashing down

The election in Saxony-Anhalt is an important test not only to gauge support for the AfD but also to assess the effectiveness of the defences against the extremist pincer movement – from both the right and the left – that fuels anti-Semitism. A double test for the future of Germany and indeed of Europe

How should we assess the Meloni government’s record for longevity?

In ordinary times, the government struggles to achieve even a pass mark. But in an era of extraordinary challenges, a government is judged on other things: on the sides it takes. Such as Ukraine. The real (unclaimed) success of Meloni’s 1,413 days at Palazzo Chigi

The minister’s statement

Crosetto in Il Foglio: “Russia has been provoking us for months. It would be foolish not to see it”

Speaking to our newspaper, the Defence Minister, following the Leipzig airport incident, discusses Moscow’s ongoing hybrid attacks on Europe: “The logic behind this eludes me, but the actions are clear, and the Kremlin’s intentions can be discerned from those actions.”

It’s not just about drones. Connecting the dots to combat the influencers of Putinism

“We fear possible attempts by Russia to influence the vote in Italy,” says Tajani. These are minimal yet necessary reasons to keep those who act as mouthpieces for Russian propaganda out of the coalitions. Crosetto’s warning to Il Foglio
