Giorgio Bianchi shared a text attributed to Marco Travaglio, which criticized the theories suggesting that the riots in Europe were fueled by Russia. Travaglio reported that Senator Borghi had speculated that someone might have directed the unrest in Moscow's interest; he also cited Lia Quartapelle, who had invoked foreign powers, and Minister Guido Crosetto, who claimed that TikTok, social media, and YouTube were tools of hybrid warfare. He also referenced articles from Libero, Il Riformista, and La Stampa, as well as statements from Aleksandr Dugin and references to NoVax. In the text, Travaglio argued that attributing the protests to Putin allowed European leaders to divert attention from their own failures. To support his thesis, he cited the accusations of Emmanuel Macron, who had called a video of Brigitte Macron on the plane false, and those of Pedro Sánchez, who claimed that Putin had sent Moroccan migrants to Ceuta, a statement that, Travaglio wrote, had been denied by the Spanish police. He also recalled that Crosetto had linked the doubling of landings in Sicily during Meloni's government to the Wagner brigade, but that Italian intelligence had contradicted him. #Putin #satira #Europa (translated)

Ultimora.net reported that Guido Crosetto had described the events in Milan and other areas of Italy as different from those of past eras, defining them as the culmination of a hybrid war conducted through unconventional means such as social media, TikTok, and YouTube. According to Crosetto, the West had neither realized nor reacted to this. Crosetto stated that 3 out of 10 boys had participated in the protests and that 6 out of 10 shared them. He asserted that the participants were primarily Italians, not second-generation youths or people labeled with a derogatory term, and attributed these positions to a "counter-education" coming from environments outside of family and school, which would have transmitted values and aspirations conflicting with the context in which the boys lived and with democratic rules. #GuerraIbrida #SocialMedia #EducazioneDemocratica (translated)

Cristian Campos stated that the people he was referring to were responsible for Spanish students being the lowest performers in the West in the PISA reports.

Marcos Galperin described a video about France as a representation of the fall of the West. He argued that those who had not foreseen it either did not want to see it or were complicit, and he expressed his hope that the phenomenon would not extend to the rest of the West, something that, as he wrote, many wanted. #Francia #Occidente #Crisis (translated)

Argentine President Javier Milei has called for the recovery of the Falklands following the election of Muslim British MP Sagal Abdi-Wali, arguing that this is necessary to defend the West against a supposed Islamization of the United Kingdom. #Malvinas #JavierMilei #ReinoUnido (translated)

Repentant supporters of Milei shared a statement that described it as an honor for Argentina to be a pioneer in the fight against antisemitism and maintained that defending Israel was a duty, because if Israel fell, they would go after all of the West. He also criticized an unidentified person for participating in another Zionist tour in the United States while, as he wrote, the university budget was being debated in Argentina, and insulted them. https://t.co/Dqh7E2J1xl #Argentina #Antisemitismo #Israel (translated)

Sabrina F. had labeled what happened in Rotterdam a "worldwide shame," harshly criticizing the West. She had claimed that the Netherlands had denied visas to three Russian gymnasts: Angelina Melnikova, the reigning world champion, Viktoria Listunova, Olympic gold medalist in Tokyo, and Anna Kalmykova, European silver medalist. According to Sabrina F., the three athletes were among the strongest and could have won the World Championships, which she had described as the first qualification for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics. She had reported that the official reason for the denial concerned an alleged threat to the international relations of one or more Schengen countries. She also stated that other Russian gymnasts had been admitted to the Netherlands: four were already there, and another five had obtained their visas the day before. For Sabrina F., this indicated a targeted exclusion of the three athletes, who she believed could defeat the United States and the Netherlands. She added that World Gymnastics had re-admitted the Russians and that the rules allowed them to compete. She had finally described the incident as a political decision and an example of "double standards." #Sport #Ginnastica #Politica (translated)
