We are witnessing social disintegration linked to immigration exploding as a red meat issue in Italy.
And the all-but-certain legislative beneficiaries of it (Five Star, the Center-right Coalition), and the likely crumbling that the Center-Left will suffer for some time, we now know reflects a Europe-wide phenomenon. That much is obvious.
But the results of March 4th in Italy are far more important than we realize. Once (as expected) the Center-Right takes the helm, only Greece, Sweden, Portugal and France (somewhat) will remain Left-governed on the Continent. Think of that.
Have we ever seen this in European history, post 1848?
Who foresaw that the Arab Spring (and, in particular, its apotheosis, the Syrian civil war) would also transform Europe?
