The former Trump strategist arrives in Europe with "The Movement". Objective: an alliance
between right-wing leaders, from Salvini to Orbán in view of the 2019 elections
NEW YORK. The invasion of Europe has begun. Steve Bannon, 65, the American far-right guru
who was Donald Trump’s right-hand man in the White House — but let go last summer following
the racist violence in Charlottesville — is preparing to march on Brussels. Launching, he told the
Daily Beast himself, a new non-profit foundation called The Movement, (Il Movimento), right in
the heart of Europe and its institutions. Through which he hopes to coordinate the populist right in
view of the European elections which will be held in spring 2019.
Objective: to compete with George Soros, the American billionaire of Hungarian origin, benefactor
of the Democratic party, who since 1984 with his Open Society has spent at least $32 billion in
support of NGOs dealing with human rights. And for this he became the bogeyman of the populist
right, accused of plots of all kinds: including that of wanting to replace Italians with immigrants in
order to have labour at low cost. A mantra repeated in the past on Twitter also by the current
Minister of the Interior Matteo Salvini.
The ambition of Steve Bannon, former director of the alt-right American site Breitbart — which in
the European campaign preceded him since the platform had already opened bureaux in London
and Rome — is therefore to become the coordinator of the one great “populist international” of
which he has long since been dreaming.
The Movement, in fact, intends to function as an extreme right-wing think tank: a source of
strategic advice to channel the not-so-politically structured discontent of the most extreme
European movements. Analysing data and giving strategic advice. But also by raising funds and
channeling funding.
The aim is to create a populist alliance, a sort of “super group” that if victorious can conquer up to a
third of the European Parliament in the elections next May.
Indeed — putting the common policy of the Old Continent in the hands of Bannon and his own.
The American strategist is very attached to the Freedom Caucus — the extreme right of the US
Congress — and in 2014 he was at the top of the Cambridge Analytica company, which in 2016
