“We are working to make Europe more and more everyone’s home,” Tajani told an event staged by his centre-right Forza Italia (FI) party in Florence in the run-up to the European People’s Party (EPP) congress.

“We need to build, not break things up, in order to defend the interests of half a billion people”.

    If the majority actually supported him, he wouldn’t need to dismantle rule of law in his country. I suppose after enough propaganda (his cronies control most of the media) most of the population will probably support him, but I find it hard to blame the common men and women for that.

      All dictator-tier rulers do that regardless of support. Just in case.
      Most non-dictatorships don’t have that mythical “rule of law” either.

      Russians also have their share of “demonstrations”. Should we consider Russians “nice” but only Putin is “bad”?
