“If this is to end in fire, then we should all burn together.” These ominous words aren’t from an apocalyptic poem: They’re from a politician’s memoir. Giorgia Meloni, the leader of the far-right Brothers of Italy party, opened her 2021 book with this strange call to arms, eschewing the more prosaic style favored by most politicians. But then Ms. Meloni, whose party carries the symbol adopted by defeated lieutenants of the Mussolini regime and describes itself as “post-fascist,” is hardly a mainstream political figure. read more

The names of the 18 airlines that profited from deportations on behalf of the federal government in 2021 are now public knowledge. Frontex is also significantly involved in financing deportation flights from Germany. read more
