Changes

There was a lot to enjoy in the first speech made by Italy's new prime minister, Giuseppe Conte, who among other things did not shy away from the term "populism", which most Europeans try to flee from ([http://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/06/06/italys-new-pm-vow-end-immigration/ 1],[https://www.politico.eu/article/new-italian-prime-minister-giuseppe-conte-is-proud-to-be-populist/ 2],[https://www.thelocal.it/20180605/italy-new-government-parliament-vote-of-confidence 3]). However, one of his agenda items was renegotiating the Dublin Agreement to give the EU ''more'' power over its member states on immigration issues, allowing it to force countries such as Hungary and Poland to accept refugees against their will ([https://www.thelocal.it/20180605/italy-giuseppe-conte-first-speech-summary 1],[http://www.dw.com/en/new-italian-pm-giuseppe-conte-vows-radical-change-in-inaugural-speech/a-44083685 2],[https://www.reuters.com/article/us-italy-politics-speech-highlights/highlights-italian-prime-minister-giuseppe-contes-inaugural-speech-idUSKCN1J118M 3]). Interestingly, Interior Minister Matteo Salvini (who is in charge of immigration issues) said he would work with Hungary to fix Europe's immigration problems, (but then again, Salvini is a consistent conservative, unlike his M5S partners): [https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/matteo-salvini-and-viktor-orban-form-unlikely-alliance-over-eu-migrants-vcxq2rjsc][https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/06/05/italys-new-eurosceptic-government-vows-work-hungary-change-eu/] I'm hopeful on this new government, but we should watch out that it doesn't turn into what it campaigned against. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 22:05, 6 June 2018 (EDT)
