Parents complain about Christmas carols banned at Italian schools
Many parents, grandparents and teachers have asked the leader of the Northern League to intervene to prevent the traditions of Italy being canceled in the name of integration.

Christmas is approaching and, as has been happening in recent years, the theme of Italian traditions is back in the limelight, and specifically the creation of the nativity scene in schools.
But a new element of discord among the do-gooders who attack Christianity in the name of a more complete and total integration with foreigners present in the country, is Christmas carols.
Matteo Salvini was the first to report the fresh outbreaks of dissent within the schools. The League leader was in Rimini to speak at an electoral rally held in the Romagna town in favor of the candidate in the upcoming regional elections of Emilia Romagna, Lucia Bergonzoni.
Before the intervention of the leader of the Carroccio the now famous “sardines” had gathered a flash mob to make their dissent heard. The former Minister of the Interior posted a photo of a plate of fried sardines on his social media page, as a response to the constant provocation.

On the stage of the Rimini rally, Salvini confirmed having received numerous reports from parents worried that once again, using the excuse that Italian children should be “open” towards other cultures and religions, schools are planning to ban traditions linked to the Christmas season.
“They are beginning to send me mail, various grandmothers, grandparents and teachers, messages that tell me ‘Matteo do something because they are about to cancel Christmas, in my son’s school they have banned the crib, they don’t let them do Christmas carols,” Salvini said. He added that he was worried about the increasing drift in many Italian institutions.
“These are dangerous characters, because whoever cancels Christmas, who cancels history, culture, identity and tradition cannot transmit values,” the former Deputy Premier pointed out.
He said the Christian roots and traditions of Italy were undeniable, and there was no need to justify them to anyone. “We have nothing to be ashamed of,” Salvini noted.
One of the leaders of the sardines, Mattia Santori says that the sardine was born in the Bologna area, the region of the far-left par excellence. “There we felt invaded by a political discourse based on aggression, drama and falsity. Ours is a role of antibodies. We are more of an antibody than a political movement”.
The leader of the minnows, in fact, says that from “Bologna we sounded the alarm, we don’t ask ourselves questions about the future because the present is quite dense”.
But although he has tried to distance himself from specific “political positions” he quickly admitted that in the case of Emilia Romagna “there is a very large center-left project, there is the PD, there is a project of Emilia Romagna in the future, there is civil society. We represent the center-left well”.
In short, the sardines is a project of the left to try to re-launch themselves.
The latest Swg poll, published by Quotidiano Nazionale, shows that the center-right is ahead by 8 points in the case of PD and M5S running alone and at least 5 points ahead in case of agreement between the two leftist parties.
If the M5S party decides to run independently, the center-right stands at 48,5 percent against 40 percent of the center-left. In particular, the Lega would be the first political formation with 32 percent, the PD at 27 percent and M5S at 8,5 percent.
Salvini has also come out in favor of cameras in nursery schools and nursing homes to give voice to the defenseless.
“Sincerely I don’t see where the problem can be, I don’t understand those who criticize us for this proposal. Cameras in kindergartens and nursing homes are the most normal, safe and also the least invasive way to prevent certain behaviors.” A week ago two teachers from a Cosentino nursery school were arrested for the ill-treatment of small children.
The Lombardy Region will allocate funds for the installation of the cameras. If it were to win in Emilia Romagna, the League will make cameras in such locations a priority. “I am sure that Lucia Borgonzoni will be able to put into practice a concrete, effective and common sense measure. The best answer to the left that is delirious about the ‘Big Brother’ danger.”

NOAA Predicts Zero Sunspots for Almost the Whole 2030s
CLIMATEThe United States' government scientific organization, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), predicts zero sunspots from 2031 to 2040. This is an extreme situation that has not occurred in as long as humanity has been counting sunspots, and it leads us into uncharted territory in terms of our solar system. However, this prediction aligns with the warnings of the world-renowned solar researcher Valentina Zharkova for many years, who indicated in 2019 various signs of this catastrophic phenomenon, including the extreme hailstorms we have seen in Europe and the world this summer. The forecast and various observations this year give cause for very significant concern. In this unique analysis, Free West Media explains why.
European Nationalist Parties Forge Cooperation Ahead of EU Elections
EUROPEAN ELECTIONSOn Saturday, August 26, representatives of six European nationalist parties gathered in Budapest. The meeting was initiated by the Hungarian party Mi Hazánk and took place in the national parliament. Representatives of the parties signed a joint declaration that not only reaffirms the parties' friendship but also their unity on a range of complex political issues. A surprisingly clear and radical manifesto was established. The hope is that this cooperation will lead to success in the EU elections and eventually result in the formation of a group in the European Parliament. For Swedish nationalism, this meeting marks a success as Sweden, for the first time, has a party represented in a leading nationalist cooperation in Europe. Free West Media was present at this historic event.

Strong Confidence in German AfD
Alternative for Germany (AfD) held a party conference on July 29-30 to select candidates for the upcoming EU election next year.

The party's two spokespersons delivered powerful speeches criticizing the EU's failed migration policy and trade sanctions that isolate Europe and Germany from the rest of the world. They argued that it's time for the EU to return a significant portion of its power to national parliaments. However, they have dropped the demand for Germany to exit the EU.
