“Putin and the Wagner mercenaries behind the landings? We are at comedies”: wrote Salvini on Twitter

“Putin and the Wagner mercenaries behind the landings?  We are at comedies”: wrote Salvini on Twitter


The post on Twitter is from 29 July: Matteo Salvini criticizes the reconstruction of Republic on the push of Moscow mercenaries to migrants from Libya. "The fault lies with the Democratic Party and Lamorgese," wrote the Northern League. A thesis that is now supported by the current Defense Minister, Guido Crosetto, and by the Minister of Foreign Affairs Antonio Tajani.

The scenario is known but it is worth going over it briefly. July 2022: the Draghi government fell a few days ago, the electoral campaign is looming on the horizon. Voting is scheduled for September 25. So Salvini, no longer in the majority, publishes the first page of Republic with the title: «The weapon of migrants on the vote. The boats pushed to Italy by Wagner's mercenaries». This is the comment:

It seems that Salvini has changed his mind, namely that in Italy the boom in landings (20,017 in the first three months of 2023 against 6,152 in 2022 and 6,041 in 2021) is from Russian mercenaries and not from the government of which he is deputy prime minister. Various users and even politicians are now teasing him on social media, such as Carlo Calenda who reposted his tweet from eight months ago.
