ER Editor: Former TV journalist, now senator, 48 year old Gianluigi Paragone is set to launch his new Italexit party today, at 10am in the Chamber of Deputies. On Monday, he met with Nigel Farage (see featured image).
A Reuters report on this topic makes it clear that this brand new exit campaign has nothing whatever to do with Lega Nord leader Matteo Salvini, who has apparently been – much like Marine Le Pen in France – quiet on the subject of quitting the EU in a bid to win mainstream political ground. Paragone is from the populist left Five Star Movement. As the first Daily Express article below says, an April polling of Italians found 49% to be in favour of leaving the EU.

‘Others want to change Europe, we want to quit’: Italian senator meets with Farage in London, plans to launch ‘Italexit’ party
RT
Italy is getting its own Brexit-type party led by a staunch Eurosceptic senator, a former journalist and ex-member of the anti-establishment Five Star Movement who recently met with Nigel Farage for inspiration.
While its name is yet to be revealed, the party, led by Senator Gianluigi Paragone, already has a clear goal – to lead Italy, a founding member of the 27-member bloc, out of the European Union.
Inspired by the UK’s vote to exit the EU, the 48-year-old senator traveled to London on Monday to meet with Brexit architect Nigel Farage. After the meeting, Paragone said his country “can no longer be blackmailed by countries that offend the great prestige of Italy.”
Speaking to the media, Paragone said the only way for Italy to tackle the economic crisis brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic is to do so as a “really sovereign state,” such as Britain.
The Eurosceptic politician is riding a wave of disappointment with the bloc and its handling of recent crises. Trust in the EU in Italy has plummeted by 20 points since 2010, according to the Brussels-based Wilfried Martens Centre for European Studies. In 2019, Italians were among the most pessimistic European nations regarding EU membership, with only 42 percent believing it to be beneficial to the country – 26 points below the ‘Eurobarometer’ average.
Despite growing anti-EU sentiment, Italy’s political parties have been hesitant to throw their weight behind the Eurosceptics, especially at a time when the Covid-stricken nation – one of the worst-affected in Europe – urgently needs the bloc’s support. On Tuesday, EU member states agreed on a coronavirus recovery package which would allocate €209 billion ($239 billion) to Italy – a whopping 28 percent of the entire package. This came as a result of uneasy marathon talks and compromises – and with the fight against the virus far from over and no proven vaccine available, the deal was direly needed to dampen Eurosceptic moods.
However, Paragone remains steadfast. “The others want to change Europe, we want to quit,” the ‘Italexit’ leader said after the deal was struck.

At last, italy was thinking of jumping the sinking ship a while ago. The prob with the eu is it belongs to the same people who own the imf, ecb,un,nato, who,wto,etc etc. They are all control groups and not set up for the good of humanity. Trump has been back peddling out of treaties etc, cause he knows they are set up to control not enrich society. The un-elected heads of the eu are all zionists, as is george osbourne n may, complete with their own hedge funds, pension n public purse swallowers. The uk was right royaly shafted during the osbourne/may term, both in it for their paymasters(not tory party) the 2020 PLANdemic is a continuation of the 2008 ponzi scheme, which was a chapter of the 7/7 scam, and a back page of 2003. Its all part of the grand plan, but it does not include us, the uk plebs, nor most of europe etc. You must have heard of un agenda21-20/30 yes its their plan to eradicate 90% of the worlds population, i would like to say we got a while, but i doubt it. Since boris held his bill gates vaccine confrence at pirbright (bill gates) im guessing the flannel about discovering a vaccine is to hide the fact that the bill gates vaccines were shipped in as confrence equiptment for 6 june. You really dont want one of his vaccines. Over 600,000 left disfigured/disabled dead in india alone. Africa is fed up of being used as a testing ground for people like him n soros their diseases n vaccines. Theres vids on u tube-voicetv nigeria.(they got oil). Point of note- in the uk every year on average 40,000 people die for one reason or another,the gov threatened nhs staff not to talk to media or family about whats happening at work. 28 jan 2020 the gov bill fr assisted dying. The removal of second signature on death cert. The hospitals are booking death in them down as covid, even if it was not. Im not sure you will find a covid death. The fed pumped 106 bill into us stocks, then in OCT started to print for the lockdown bailout. The chinese economy was a threat to the us dollar as world trading currency, plus there growth into the biggest producer of electronic etc was also a threat esp to apple, but they did most of the damage to them selves. No one forced them to move production to ucina, no one firced them to fit stupid expensive fittings for their phones.the prob with huewei is its streets ahead of anyone else on 5g(upgraded 4g). The usa doesnt want 6eyes spying on us all, not sure the chinese will be interested in what colour undies im wearing. The 5g network is I.O.T which has been beamed across the uk since march 2014. It goes by btwifi-x and runs with bt with fon. The advent of mimo, is not new, most on 4g are actualky on 3g with mimo. The advent of beamforming tech is a prob. This allows tbe spooks/stasi to see what your doing with who n were in your home. This is already in oppo. Esp if your like me n have your own fan club24/7/365x8or ten. The kardashions dont have this kind of fan base. Vids of my tusche are available in all good spook stores world wide.DMWout
