I won't keep you updated about the latest horrible statements from Salvini, our Minister of the Interior, because it's utterly depressing.

I'm not sure if he believes in what he says; surely he believes in the power of his words. Every day he says something outrageous because he knows that the opposition is getting tired, weaker, and powerless, and that the bar keeps lowering.

It's not just about empowering racism in #Italy – it's also about defeating the opposition by wearing them out.
