Reizfigur Salvini

With Matteo Salvini, Italy and the EU have a completely new type of politician. He appears authentic, down-to-earth, and very approachable for the "common man on the street." The poll numbers speak in his favor. However, what exactly makes him an enemy image and a provocative figure for the political establishment? Right-wing conservative parties in Europe, often derogatorily referred to as "right-wing populists," are on the rise. The Italian Matteo Salvini is seen as the new charismatic leader of Europe's "sovereigntists." For months, all polls have shown him and his alliance far ahead - however, Salvini is regarded as an absolute provocative figure both in Italy and in Europe. This book sheds light on and analyzes Salvini's life and success. One thing is clear: without the dissatisfaction of citizens, primarily with left-liberal and social democratic policies, this rise would not have been possible. And the more the sovereignists are attacked from the left, the greater the support they receive. In any case, Matteo Salvini is not easily deterred - quite the opposite.
