The Duran’s Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris discuss Matteo Salvini’s rise to be the front runner of possible elections that may take place in Italy. Brussels remains fearful and in shock as Salvini, an outspoken eurosceptic, is well positioned to win the next election due to ‘underestimated’ law.
If general elections are delayed, then EU globalists have been warned that Salvini could secure an even bigger win than expected, should elections be held now.

Chief economist and founder of ADA Economics Raffaella Tenconi told Bloomberg Matteo Salvini “will win” the next general election in Italy and warned the Deputy Prime Minister would gather “even more” support if thanks to a bill approved by both parties in Government delayed an early election until next year. Ms Tenconi explained: “Although the Democratic Party and the Five Star Movement (M5S) technically have sufficient MPs to take over, neither of them actually really knows what to do to revive growth.
“So taking over now is a short-term gain for parliamentarians but it’s a very, very high chance of complete devastation in terms of popularity in the media now.
“So Salvini is going to win, it’s only a matter of when.
“He can win now, relatively soon with an early election, or he can win even more in a year from now.
“One thing that I think people completely underestimate is the fact that there is a constitutional reform that the Northern League has accepted together with the Five Star Movement.
“This is one of the things that the Five Star Movement is trying to push for approval.
“This constitutional amendment actually could very easily eventually give a stronger mandate to Salvini.
“So it’s not even obvious why M5S is insisting on getting this bill approved and avoid an election.
“Because, quite frankly, they have nothing to gain from it.”
The Lega leader said last week his coalition with the anti-establishment Five Star Movement had broken down and demanded early elections.
But M5S leader Luigi Di Maio said Mr Salvini “betrayed Italians” by pulling the plug on the government.
Mr Di Maio said in a Facebook post: “We are ready to head back to the polls, the League mocked Italians”.
Mr Salvini tabled a motion for a no confidence vote against Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte last week to be debated in the Senate.
A Senate panel failed to reach an agreement over a timetable for the debate.
Politicians from all the parties in parliament left the meeting still arguing over when the League’s no-confidence motion should be heard.
They said Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte would address the Senate around August 20.
But this was opposed by the ruling right-wing Lega, along with Silvio Berlusconi’s Forza Italia and far-right party Brothers of Italy.
Now Senate Speaker Maria Elisabetta Alberti Casellati said a vote in the Senate will have to take place on Tuesday to confirm the date.
An Italian election could trigger disaster for the European Union after a shock Ipsos survey revealed if a new vote was held, right-wing parties – Lega, the far-right of Brothers of Italy and Silvio Berlusconi’s Forza Italia would take 50.6 percent of the vote.
