Wow, my youtube BREAKING NEWS and my phone's push notifications are showing me the same 'A CRAZY GROEN-LINKS Member of Parliament was just ARRESTED' notification of three different outlets. Did he kill someone because I refuse to click the links.

that is also the decree to make italy jump category a full place into semi-authoritarian, in that it equates peaceful protest with violent dissent in the eyes of the law, increases police discretionary powers and heavily increases sanctions for 'unauthorized' protesting. not only that, it shifts the burden of dealing with immigration related crimes to the local anti-mafia units, which were special judiciary units tasked with investigating and punishing organized crime. the reason for this is all too obvious. finally it allows the state discretion to deny passage into territorial waters to any ship 'suspected' of violating immigration laws, with sanctions up to 50k€ to both crew and owner and confiscation of the ship.

It was not a member of parliament but of the local council of Diemen.
He objected to being filmed by some reality show that was tagging along with the police, and then got roughed up by said police. He was arrested for insulting them, and the police said he spat at them and that he had drugs on him, though he denies this. Because of this, he had to resign from his office.
It seems like an excuse was needed to get rid of him, the upper-class right wingers doing coke on the Amsterdam Zuidas don't get this sort of treatment.

good news! parliament is also working on several laws to make divorce in cases of violence more difficult, reforming parental leave to grant exactly 50-50 custody in all cases and pretty much eliminate alimony in one of the most gender-unequal societies of the west, considering a fetal personhood bill, and has already passed laws that make divorce longer, more expensive and difficult

the state as a whole is also pushing for a federal-like fiscal reform to ensure the rich north keeps even more tax money than it already does, and salvini is now slamming fists on the table to get 10bn out of a cash strapped budget threatened with infraction procedure in order to do a hungary-modeled fiscal reform wrt income taxes

i also saw that the government is pushing for parliament to directly appoint the majority of the board of the italian central bank, which won't result in massive graft at all

not just that, they're raiding systematically the coffers of every single state enterprise that was in the black the past few years. theyre trying to appropriate the entirety of CDP, which is a state investment fund designed as a safeguard for budgetary emergencies. theyre decimating every last emergency revenue stream available, if poo poo of any kind goes down italy is hosed three ways to sunday.

Here in Portugal a famous newspaper, regarded by some as left leaning, even if that's being charitable, just published a chronicle from a known nationalist that basically said roma people and black people aren't receivers of human rights due to not being of Christian descent. Because the human rights bill was born out of Christian accomplishment.
Naturally the typical free speech defenders came out in full swing to her side because what she said begs the question :barf:.

Exploration is ill-advised.
It's like these decades of neoliberalism have been programming liberals to immediately surrender to fascism at the first opportunity.

It's more that the newspaper is at this point one of the only major ones that actually a) gets published daily and b) survived the IMF intervention and c) has had actual push to get at least one minister fired when he talked poo poo about it. You put that with archives you need at least two kinds of authorization to access so you can't necessarily drag other columnists without having to pay them. That way you barely have any accountability or any kind of consistency if all you require is the "serious newspaper that is read by the most people", which just means "Any kind of stupid poo poo with a huff of pretense can just be posted there."

i'm nitpicking to the extreme here, but denying basic human dignity to people because they don't have "christian descent" predates fascism in that part of Europe by centuries. imo iberian theocracy was the original blood-and-soil fascism

regardless, neoliberalism is making the return of the rhetoric of the inquisition and fascism very real
