"We have reached barbarism, animality: we shoot a human being as if it were a public spectacle. We have gone back ninety years, to the last time a man was hanged in public in the United States. It is truly shameful." With these words, Vincenzo De Luca, in his usual weekly Facebook live address, comments on the decision announced by U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, whom he referred to as "the slicked-back one." What is happening in the United States with the current ruling group at the helm of the country is pushing the world towards levels of barbarism and loss of fundamental human values that leave us truly shocked." The mayor of Salerno describes the announcement as a return to practices that the United States had abandoned for almost a century, and harshly criticizes the Trump administration: "What is happening in the United States with the current ruling group at the helm of the country is pushing the world towards levels of barbarism and loss of fundamental human values that leave us truly shocked." We will have a political season that will record the further fragmentation of the political landscape of our country. Every election campaign eve sees the birth of new lists, new groupings, all that series of nonsense and hypocrisies that serve simply one purpose: to guarantee a candidacy to as many people as possible – he continues – I happened to particularly observe "Civic Project." I called it "Civic Opportunism": it is a way to try to create spaces for candidacy. That’s all." De Luca then comments on the eve of the Italian electoral season, targeting the political formation promoted by Alessandro Onorato, which continues to gather support even in Campania, including from regional councilors so far close to the former president of the Campania Region: "We will have a political season that will record the further fragmentation of the political landscape of our country. I have been repeating for decades that there is a condition of total anomaly in Italy. When you need to make political choices on major issues (healthcare, transportation, taxation, justice, foreign policy), you can have two different positions, three, four, five hypotheses for solving problems or lines on which to position yourself to tackle the issues. But you can’t have twenty lines of economic policy, twenty healthcare policies, twenty transportation policies." They pretend to contribute to the governance of the country, but in reality, they are great charades and initiatives of opportunism that simply serve to open spaces for the candidacies of a few characters in search of an author." #VincenzoDeLuca #Elezioni #PoliticaUSA (translated)

I resolved eight wars and there should be a Nobel for each one. We won't forget Norway's refusal to award the Nobel to the United States. The United States, represented by me, should have received the Nobel but did not. This is an indelible stain on Norway. We will not forget, Norway. The Nobel Peace Prize - Trump said - has been forever discredited by a handful of radical ideologists. They awarded the Nobel to someone I had never heard of. I had never heard their name. No president has done what I have done. I have a great relationship with her. We get along. Trump had also previously commented on his relations with Meloni. "I have a great relationship with her. We get along," he said in response to a question about his relationship with the Italian prime minister. Probably. When asked if he intends to meet her at the G20, Trump said, "Probably." #Putin #Trump #Ucraina (translated)

Former Undersecretary of State Michele Geraci stated that Italy had followed Donald Trump's invitation not to purchase Russian gas and oil and had approved sanctions against Moscow. He claimed that Mario Draghi had anticipated peace without gas and that the measures had put pressure on the German and Italian economies. Geraci added that Trump had then lifted the sanctions on Russia and partially resumed purchases of Russian energy, leaving Italy at a disadvantage. According to him, the outcome had been predictable for four years and was due to the total incompetence of the Italian government. #Trump #Russia #Energia (translated)
