J' Accuse the electoral victory of Mamdani, the new Mayor of New York, of being a milestone in the fight against populism and the racist and xenophobic right.

It is certainly a resounding defeat for Trump, who insulted the new mayor by accusing him of anti-Semitism and being a communist. It is also a defeat for the Republicans in Virginia and New Jersey. It is also a blow for the arrogant and rude Musk, a Muslim-hater and racist to the core. It is finally a painful blow for those who have drawn inspiration from this evil, racist, and unhealthy school of politics in Europe, such as Salvini and his General of the "twelfth MAS"—the eternal losers in all wars, I would say—and for Meloni, who has always followed those Trumpian communication strategies of hatred, discrimination against those different and minorities, and the spreading of fear and unfounded intolerance solely for the political purpose of gaining consensus. In short, Mamdani, a young American, and a Muslim, of Ugandan origin, is turning the tables on the populists, their strategies, and their plans to distort democracy and international balances. His style of communication, much loved by young people in New York, by that so-called Generation Z, or last generation, is taking up the foundations of the American awakening. His style addresses issues of the lower classes, people's problems, such as rent, daycare, food, supermarkets, jobs, health, and safety. These are issues that our opposition parties remain silent about, or remain silent about out of fear or, at times, a lack of intellectual and political acumen. He is leaving the reins of power to the slim and combative camp of the extreme right, with which they are altering democracy in our country, spreading a historical revisionism that is, to say the least, mendacious, as well as infamous and ungrateful toward those who fought to give this country this great republican constitution. Mamdani is living proof that when the actor or actors involved are motivated, politically combative and argumentative, close to the people and the problems of young people, communicative, and convinced of their ideas and their political identity—obviously anti-fascist, racist, and socialist—things can change, and democracy can once again become that arena where the universal values ​​of rights and freedoms can inevitably triumph over the political ogres of our time. Mamdani's victory is a milestone, a triumph against the divinely inspired and personalistic dictatorial power represented by the new European and American populists.
