Vannacciani for Putin. Whilst Vannacci remains silent, his network has become an unofficial branch of Russia Today

Memes, AI, "Meloni cocainomane" and pro-Russian propaganda. Here’s how the general’s social media profiles have become a mouthpiece for Moscow’s narrative

The Situation

The troll known as Vannacci

The leader of Futuro Nazionale is a reflection of what Meloni could have been but was not

The Machiavellis of Paris. What the story of "le Florentin" teaches us

Mitterrand changed the electoral law to undermine Chirac and favour Le Pen. Some people are taking inspiration from this today, but it did not end very well.

In the 1988 presidential election, Le Pen secured over 14 per cent of the vote. It did not go as well as Mitterrand had expected, but he ceased to be an outsider (Getty image)

The day

The electoral law in the Senate. The government on the brink of a split over preferential votes. Renzi: “Meloni must not be intimidated”

Vannacci on one side and the leader of Italia Viva on the other are urging FdI to back the minority’s motion: “FdI’s consistency is at stake.” The majority meets and reaches an agreement following the split earlier in the morning

the interview

“Sembra che vogliamo perdere: subito un candidato anche con Vannacci”. Parla Santori (Lega)

The Forgetful One from Viareggio

The two faces of Prof. Vannacci, caught between Salvini and Brussels

The leader of Futuro Nazionale issues military-style communiqués, purges dissidents and trains police officers. However, in the European Parliament, he has never risen above the role of a bit-part player.

chaos in fn

Here are the Vannaccia-style purges: Sforzini sacked from Fn. Lavarini: “He used the general to promote himself”

“His expulsion was inevitable; he passed information to the enemy – that is, to you journalists. And besides, his think tank had nothing to do with Vannacci.” So says the “Black Baron”, whilst the leader of the FN remains silent

the challengers

The anti-Vannacci trolls are simply giving him more publicity

Repentant ex-officers, former undersecretaries – all seeking the limelight. They may even be put forward as candidates by those opposed to Futuro Nazionale, but in the meantime, it all works in the general’s favour

Cultural hegemony and symbols

Germany, the right wing and the nostalgic charm of the moped

Ulrich Siegmund, the winner of the German regional elections, and the Simson Schwalbe, a moped that was once Jewish, then Nazi, and then Communist. In Italy, there would be Fantozzi’s Bianchina.

Meloni’s ‘salvific’ inconsistencies, explained by Vannacci
