The New Propaganda War Autocrats in China, Russia, and elsewhere are now making common cause with MAGA Republicans to discredit liberalism and freedom around the world.

"Given that both Russian and Chinese actors now blend in so easily with the MAGA messaging operation, it is hardly surprising that the American government has difficulty responding to the newly interlinked autocratic propaganda network" www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

That is why today the fear of foreigners disguised as environmentalism by the above-mentioned party with initiatives like ‘no to a Switzerland of 10 million people’ makes me laugh. In a few decades the above-mentioned party will be full of people of African descent who will be angry with Martians

Today Italians are so well integrated in Switzerland that the often populist and xenophobic right-wing party has countless people with surnames of Italian origin.

People of Italian origin in Switzerland are the largest foreign origin group and until the 1970s they suffered everything, including several xenophobic votes against the ‘foreignisation’.

Max Frisch, Swiss playwright and novelist, once said ‘We were looking for arms, men arrived’ referring to Italian immigration to Switzerland.
