, page of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers. Since the beginning of the twentieth century, some American politicians have begun to raise the specter of an overturning of the ethnic balance due to the massive waves of migration from Europe. Suggestions taken from some dystopian novels.

But the first to speak of substitution as a great conspiracy was, in 2011, the French academic Renaud Camus. He was referring above all to his country which he saw threatened by the wave of immigrants from the former colonies but his theses, as well as in the European right, have had success above all in the United States, especially among white supremacists.

In Italy, apart from yesterday’s outing by Lollobrigida, speaking of ethnic replacement and of genocide of the Italian people was above all Matteo Salvini in the past. The expression “great replacement” has been used several times, but not in recent years, even by Giorgia Meloni. His references mainly appeared to the so-called Kalergi plan: a replacement scheme that would be conceived by entrepreneurs to create a large reservoir of low-wage, tame workers. Conspiracy theories that have already inspired various massacres in the USA (from that of Buffalo to El Paso via the Pittsburgh synagogue) as well as that of Christchurch in New Zealand.
