// Italy Gets Tough With The EU. //
Actually it is the other way round, the EU is getting tough with italy. According to EU rules, no country should have a budget deficit larger than three percent of GDP or debt above 60 percent of GDP, but Italy's public debt was 132.2 percent of GDP in 2018, and it is forecast to rise to 135 percent.
The EU has to enforce the rules or else EVERYONE will ignore them. Apparently the League and Five Star support EU membership, but don’t want to obey the rules of membership. So the EU intends to fine them.

This from January this year.
The pro-Brexit Tory MP Bernard Jenkin said:
“Right-wing populism makes the European Union like a very fragile political project with very tender and vulnerable credibility with populations in other European countries. ///
/// “Happily we haven’t got a right-wing party in the UK because our parliamentary system absorbs those political and economic shocks.” ///
Pardon me Mr Jenkin, isn't your own party right-wing, or is that a myth that the gullible British voters have been lead into believing?
