[00:01:24] of
[00:01:35] At the root of majority of protests around the world, the cost of living is a
[00:01:39] central theme. European protests are no exception, including the
[00:01:43] ones that are happening in Italy. These are economic problems that have
[00:01:47] in compounded over the years, with some arguing joining the EU and
[00:01:51] adopting the euro could lie at the heart
[00:01:54] of the
[00:01:54] problem.
[00:02:07] of
[00:02:14] لا
[00:02:19] of
[00:02:25] a of
[00:02:33] Coming up of in today's program, Italy's cost of living protests.
[00:02:37] Italians in the thousands have taken to the streets across the country's main
[00:02:40] cities to protest over range of issues, including the
[00:02:44] rising cost of living. Georgia
[00:02:46] of Maloni's governments and the wars in West Asia have been other
[00:02:49] factors. Italy's
[00:02:51] of poverty: the poverty rate in Italy has increased since the 2008
[00:02:55] financial crisis. 2.1 million households or
[00:02:58] of around 5.4 million. people were living in absolute poverty
[00:03:02] in Italy in 2025, that's 9.3%
[00:03:06] of the population. From France to Italy, the EU
[00:03:10] is plagued. European protests are gaining
[00:03:13] of momentum and Italy has been no exception. Italy's exit from
[00:03:16] EU budget procedure is at risk due to deficit
[00:03:19] increase, especially with Italy's plan to run a budget
[00:03:23] deficit above 3% of GDP both in
[00:03:26] 2027 and 2028.
[00:03:30] of us the in today's program is Lorenzo Maria Patini, associate
[00:03:33] professor in political philosophy and
[00:03:36] of geopolitics, also Alessandro Saroni,
[00:03:40] founder of Think Bricks Media, Italy's first officially
[00:03:43] in recognized social media manager and veteran digital
[00:03:47] marketer.
[00:03:54] of
[00:04:04] Thank you so much for
[00:04:05] in inviting of me on the show, it's been a great pleasure and see you very
[00:04:10] of soon.
[00:04:21] of
[00:04:31] of of
[00:04:34] of
[00:04:35] of
[00:04:49] What we see happening is of course the continuation
[00:04:52] and the physiological consequences of such a
[00:04:56] long time crisis that has been establish.
[00:05:00] a in Italy, but in general in the
[00:05:02] of
[00:05:02] of world collective west, and
[00:05:05] nobody tried to care seriously
[00:05:09] about the problems that occurred in the... following
[00:05:13] years our country is under kind of
[00:05:16] pressure led by the western main powers
[00:05:20] which actually we remember are the USA and the United
[00:05:24] Kingdom, which stress lot our economy till
[00:05:28] the point to not being able to survive
[00:05:32] by itself. After 2022, with the beginning
[00:05:36] the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Italy
[00:05:40] became one the supporter
[00:05:41] main the... union path and with the sanctions
[00:05:45] imposed by the European Union and by the United States of
[00:05:48] America uh against Russia, we had kind
[00:05:52] of very problematic cut of many the
[00:05:56] resources that we were reciving by the eastern countries, and
[00:05:59] it's not only matter of energy and fuel, but is also for
[00:06:03] other goods which were fundamental and especially by
[00:06:07] the huge investments led by the Russians in our
[00:06:11] country.
[00:06:19] "the issues that the protestors are now
[00:06:22] raising are very simple and clear, we cannot anymore
[00:06:26] effort this, but the responsibility of this is not only up
[00:06:30] to the peoples, it's a kind of context which has been
[00:06:34] framed by the political authorities, has been led
[00:06:37] to become exasperate and to
[00:06:41] not have any kind..."
[00:06:46] shops looted, windows smashed, law enforcement officers attacked,
[00:06:50] these are unacceptable scenes that no one should think of downplaying or
[00:06:53] justifying. that is why today the cabinet approved a decree containing new
[00:06:57] measures to prevent and combat this violence. these are addition to those
[00:07:01] adopted in recent months, starting with biometric
[00:07:04] identification, including through artificial intelligence to put
[00:07:07] a name to those hiding behind a hood. the protests in this moment
[00:07:11] are kind. of latest opportunity also for political
[00:07:15] institutions to try to solve peacefully and
[00:07:19] inside the democratic frame these
[00:07:23] problems and instead of this peaceful
[00:07:27] solution, the only way that we can see for the future is
[00:07:30] increase the tensions and of
[00:07:33] course benger and
[00:07:37] stronger dangers that can arrive in the
[00:07:40] following weeks.
[00:07:49] low productivity and slow economic growth, Italy has struggled to
[00:07:53] increase output per worker due to limited innovation, low
[00:07:57] investment and research and development and the prevalence of small
[00:08:00] businesses, the European commission forecast GDP growth of only
[00:08:04] 0.5% in 2026. High
[00:08:08] public debt, Italy has one the highest government debt burden.
[00:08:12] in the EU, public debt is projected to rise from
[00:08:15] 137.1% of GDP in 2025 to
[00:08:19] 138.5% in 2026, limiting the government's
[00:08:23] ability to invest in public services and economic
[00:08:26] development.
[00:09:05] We have three main issues which would be mandatory to be
[00:09:08] solved. The first one is belonging to the NATO Alliance, the... second one
[00:09:12] is the European Union, the third one is the currency euro,
[00:09:16] which destroyed the national economy when we left our national
[00:09:20] currency
[00:09:21] leader,
[00:09:34] something very, very quick and affordable for
[00:09:38] Italian institutions should be first to go out.
[00:09:43] for from the sanctions to uh Russian
[00:09:46] Federation and to leave from this asset of
[00:09:50] war which has been declared by NATO and European
[00:09:54] Commission as kind of compulsory
[00:09:57] um settlement for the world European
[00:10:01] countries, we have many new taxes
[00:10:05] and tariffs due to these two conditions, so
[00:10:09] removing those taxes and tariffs would really a...
[00:10:12] implies diminution the
[00:10:16] expenses and of life cost, which is actually the main
[00:10:19] problem also raised by protesters, and in the
[00:10:23] second way, we could be able. to move to regain
[00:10:26] sovereinity and be able to get out from the three main
[00:10:30] treats that I mentioned
[00:10:32] before.
[00:10:59] This is the social media section the program. First, the claim
[00:11:03] that Italians all stopped working for a month and stayed home is not
[00:11:06] accurate. Throughout 2026, there were further strikes and
[00:11:10] protest over wages, pensions, public services, military
[00:11:14] spending, and the cost of living. Next, from
[00:11:18] Paris to Rome, Europe's youth are taking to the streets over housing
[00:11:21] cost, broken promises, protest against living. and housing
[00:11:25] affordability have escalated across Europe, particularly
[00:11:29] affecting youth and workers, with Italy and Belgium seeing
[00:11:33] violent demonstrations. Then, no
[00:11:36] Meloney, police charges against students in Rome in
[00:11:39] Turen. This isn't being reported in the news in the UK.
[00:11:43] Italy is also protesting. Entire supply chains have broken
[00:11:47] down and supermarkets are beginning to run out of food now.
[00:11:51] Southern Italy is being bought to a standstill as workers.
[00:11:55] farmers and truckers take to the streets, and
[00:11:58] finally, it all started with regime change in Iran by USA and Israel,
[00:12:02] controlled by zionists, globalists or the deep states. Europe is
[00:12:06] heading to anarchy because of high cost of living due to high price of
[00:12:10] diesel and gas. Don't just blame the immigrants. Iran had
[00:12:14] warned that Europe will
[00:12:15] freeze.
[00:12:19] Thank you forever me. Thank
[00:12:20] you.
[00:13:05] Let's start with uh telling you, I don't
[00:13:08] know if you already know this, but the
[00:13:12] the real protests in Italy are going on in the
[00:13:16] south, what we are seeing on the mainstream media
[00:13:19] now, it's this uh clashes on the streets
[00:13:23] in the northern. Italy with
[00:13:26] students, but the real
[00:13:29] protest is in the south where um truck
[00:13:33] drivers, farmers are blocking
[00:13:37] the roads, the motorways,
[00:13:39] the the ports, in sicily,
[00:13:42] campania, in sicily, campania,
[00:13:45] pulia, and
[00:13:47] they aring shortage at supermarket and
[00:13:51] lines and gas station and...
[00:13:55] for it's the disruption, benefit and but peaceful it's a protest
[00:14:06] people. the diesel and shipping costs that we are forced to
[00:14:09] there is bear enormous today are costs that eventually get passed onto supermarket shelves.
[00:14:13] ordinary people, like all of us, go shopping and simply can no longer afford
[00:14:17] to do so. that's the reality the
[00:14:19] situation. it's empty everywhere.
[00:14:23] yesterday we spent half an hour.
[00:14:55] but it's the the active part
[00:14:59] the the worker force,
[00:15:03] mean the problem in Italy is
[00:15:06] systemic, it's not one government or
[00:15:10] another, it's something that we have
[00:15:13] since the yeah, mean
[00:15:17] the the the second republic we we used to call
[00:15:21] it, is is the period?
[00:15:25] that changed from the first part
[00:15:27] the um second world war,
[00:15:31] after the second world war, this first republic where we
[00:15:35] have this electoral. system, the
[00:15:39] proportional, the pure proportional system, when we
[00:15:42] changed with the uninominal
[00:15:46] system, and that changed because
[00:15:49] um, because the progress the
[00:15:53] expansion the European
[00:15:56] ideal, something that my
[00:16:00] generation was even happy
[00:16:03] embrace, but after all these
[00:16:06] year under the bureaucrats the
[00:16:10] Europe, now we are facing a real
[00:16:13] crisis,
[00:16:27] weak labor market and aging population, young people face
[00:16:30] difficulties entering stable employments, some workers
[00:16:34] emigrate and the population is aging, more than percent of
[00:16:38] Italians aged 15 to 29 were not in employment,
[00:16:41] education or training in 2025, contributing to labor shortages
[00:16:45] and weakered long-term
[00:16:47] growth.
[00:17:28] The first step is uh let's call it ital exit
[00:17:31] the Italy must escape the European
[00:17:35] cage uh the euro. age in
[00:17:38] particular, he Italy needs
[00:17:41] to give get back its
[00:17:44] own monetary system, its own national
[00:17:48] currency, because in this way it's very complicated to
[00:17:52] make your investment,
[00:17:55] your policy and develop the country,
[00:17:59] because sometimes you need to go
[00:18:02] over the the limits that
[00:18:06] the balance is... the european
[00:18:09] indication are
[00:18:12] you know pushing two
[00:18:14] countries,
[00:18:20] you have to be free to find
[00:18:23] your foreign policy,
[00:18:26] because Italy has this, as I told
[00:18:30] you systematic problem also with the foreign policy, we
[00:18:34] didn't have never have
[00:18:36] a free foreign policy, the the possibility
[00:18:40] to engage with other countries
[00:18:44] freely as without the pressure of
[00:18:47] usa of of other
[00:18:51] other powers, so the thing is
[00:18:55] that escaping the cage of euro could
[00:18:58] be a possibility for for Italy
[00:19:03] i
[00:19:03] don't invest in in the private sector, reduce the...
[00:19:09] to uh to private companies that are the real
[00:19:13] engine the economy in Italy and then maybe
[00:19:16] grow the salaries, because in this way you
[00:19:20] know students, good
[00:19:23] students, smart minds from Italy,
[00:19:27] they go to work
[00:19:29] abroad.
[00:19:57] This is the info news section the program. First, AI
[00:20:01] could soon hijack household appliances. Rogue agents could
[00:20:05] take control of smart TVs the... and other internet connected
[00:20:09] devices, artificial intelligence models could become
[00:20:12] capable of independently infecting and spreading across household
[00:20:16] appliances, including smart tvs and ovens by the end of
[00:20:20] this year. then oil supplies, the west
[00:20:24] has drained all available oil inventories, that's according to
[00:20:28] the vitol CEO, crude stocks have been burned through as the
[00:20:32] energy crunch spreads to global shipping. western countries have
[00:20:36] exhausted the oil inventories. available to offset supply
[00:20:39] disruptions from the US-Israely war with Iran, leaving the market
[00:20:43] increasingly exposed to further
[00:20:45] shocks. Next, UK economy.
[00:20:49] Inflation. surge to 3.5% last month, while the government
[00:20:53] deficit was worse than forecast at 24.5 billion
[00:20:57] pounds. annual inflation rose from 3.1% in
[00:21:00] August, over shooting city forecast of a rise in the consumer prices
[00:21:04] index or CPI to 3.4%, as result
[00:21:08] the searching cost of fuel. oil and gas prices
[00:21:12] have soored since the end of February when the US and Israel launched the
[00:21:16] war on Iran, throttling the flow of fuel through the straight of herm.
[00:21:21] And finally, US Midterms money. Midterm at spending has
[00:21:25] surpassed $10 billion. Where is the money coming
[00:21:28] from? Republicans have significantly outspent democrats and senator
[00:21:32] races at $233 million to
[00:21:35] $121 million on broadcast television ads across nine
[00:21:39] the tightest upper chamber races last
[00:21:42] month.
[00:22:13] This is the in-depth section the program, like other European countries,
[00:22:17] Italy has also experienced protests which have at times
[00:22:20] led to violence. In this in-depth section we will look at Italy's
[00:22:24] economic difficulties and cover seven key issues which have
[00:22:28] contributed to Italians anger towards the government. First,
[00:22:32] rising cost of living. Italians are facing renewed inflation,
[00:22:36] particularly in energy and fuel. In September
[00:22:39] 2026, annual harmonized inflation reached
[00:22:42] 4.1%, driven partly by higher energy
[00:22:46] costs linked to conflict in west Asia. Rising price.
[00:22:50] reduce household purchasing power and make everyday essentials more
[00:22:54] expensive. next, low wages and declining purchasing
[00:22:57] power. many workers feel that their salaries have not kept a pace with
[00:23:01] living costs. the OECD reported that real wages under collective
[00:23:05] agreements remained 8.8% below their January
[00:23:09] 2021 level at the end of 2025. this feels
[00:23:13] frustration among workers struggling to cover basic
[00:23:16] expenses. next, expensive and inaccessible housing.
[00:23:20] in major cities, particularly Milan and Rome, high rents and
[00:23:23] housing costs put pressure on people. Italy's housing crisis leaves
[00:23:27] hundred at risk of eviction, according to September stats,
[00:23:31] rents have risen 4.4%, eating up almost half of many
[00:23:35] people's wages. We are actually
[00:23:38] under uh the control the
[00:23:42] Israeli lobbies in Italy, which are
[00:23:45] pretty the same thing with the American ones, and
[00:23:49] every... in our foreign politics, but
[00:23:53] also
[00:23:53] in the domestic one is led by interest of foreign
[00:23:57] people inside of our national perimeter. this is
[00:24:00] kind of issues that belongs to beginning the Italian republic in
[00:24:04] 1945 after world war ii, and of course
[00:24:08] this financial situation remains stable and controlled
[00:24:12] by kind of institutions which are mainly led by Israeli
[00:24:15] people
[00:24:16] and which are trying to destroy every kind. of
[00:24:20] possibilities of revenge and
[00:24:23] autonomy for the Italian republic and for its
[00:24:26] people uh, this situation is of course
[00:24:30] pretty complicated and cannot be solved just a very short
[00:24:34] time, but it's very important to become aware of what it
[00:24:38] means for the future of our
[00:24:41] country. Italy is welcoming more and more this
[00:24:45] kind of external pressures which are
[00:24:49] damaging. strongly the entire infrastructure
[00:24:52] the state and they also are
[00:24:56] damaging the the
[00:24:59] trust the people to all the political
[00:25:03] institutions, and this means that we could really arrive to have
[00:25:06] kind of lack of representance in the democratic
[00:25:10] processes, for which the leaders we
[00:25:14] have are not followed by people, are not in the agreemental love of
[00:25:18] people, but they are ruling. instead the good
[00:25:21] of people and destroying the future the entire
[00:25:25] nation, and this is only profitable for those
[00:25:29] entities which are external and which are trying to
[00:25:33] transform Italy in not only a colony,
[00:25:37] not only another example of how they
[00:25:40] can rule a country, but they are trying to destroy the
[00:25:43] civilization of Italy and of all European
[00:25:47] peoples. weak economic growth. Italy's economy
[00:25:51] has struggled to expand rapidly with GDP growing by just
[00:25:54] 0.5% in 2025, with similar modest
[00:25:58] growth in 20-26, slow expansion limits, the pace
[00:26:02] of..." improvements in living standards, business investment and
[00:26:06] wage growth. heavy government debt. Italy's public debt
[00:26:10] stood at approximately 137.1% of GDP in
[00:26:13] 2025, and is projected to rise
[00:26:16] further. servicing this step sues public
[00:26:20] services, making it harder for governments
[00:26:22] to expand healthcare, education, infrastructure and income
[00:26:26] support without increasing taxes or
[00:26:29] borrowing. next, energy dependence and
[00:26:33] Italy relies heavily on imported energy, leaving households and
[00:26:37] businesses vulnerable to international price shocks, higher
[00:26:41] electricity, gas and fuel costs, increases
[00:26:45] production and transport expenses, potentially pushing prices
[00:26:48] higher and weakening the competitiveness of Italian manufacturers
[00:26:52] and other businesses, and finally, job
[00:26:56] insecurity and unequal opportunities. Despite improvements in
[00:26:59] employment, Italy faces persistent challenges. involving young people's
[00:27:03] prospects, regional inequalities and low productivity. Workers
[00:27:07] and protesters are demanding better wages, stronger public
[00:27:11] services and more affordable living conditions. These grievances
[00:27:14] contribute to broader dissatisfaction with the government's economic
[00:27:18] policies.

[00:28:44] million Jews in the states, some
[00:28:47] 60% them no longer identify themselves as

[00:28:53] change.
