Italy's government will have been in power for 1,413 consecutive days on September 4, meaning the executive led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is the longest-serving since the founding of the Republic in 1946. A record that is no small feat in a country accustomed to political instability and which has seen over seventy governments in 80 years. But the emergence of National Future, a small "ultra" party led by a retired army general, threatens to spoil the Italian leader's anniversary.

Champions of democracy like Putin, Orbán, Salvini, Elon Musk, and that sad figure called Abascal came out in force to deplore the court ruling against Marine Le Pen, leader of the French National Rally party. They immediately turned Le Pen into a victim of the system: they use harsh words like judicial scandal, covert coup d'état either liquidation of democracy, as the far right always does when it clashes with justice or, simply, with the norms of representative democracy. They are the same ones who applaud or promote the lawfare, The dirty judicial war against political adversaries, through judges or prosecutors willing to act in vain: then they find that justice must be final, and that any debate about judicial prevarication is an attack on democracy. We, the subjects of the Kingdom of Spain, have experienced all of this.
