What do you get when you cross social media savvy with a deep admiration for Donald Trump\u2019s politics? The leader of Italy\u2019s far-right Northern League party and former deputy Prime Minister, Mateo Salvini<\/a>. Along with closing the country\u2019s ports to sea rescue ships, accusing Tunisia of only sending convicts to Italy and drumming up Eurosceptic sentiment, he boasts a worryingly loyal following of close to 4 million on Facebook, posting updates every couple of hours. His latest move is weaponising the internet\u2019s love of cats.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As the far-right politician <\/span>campaigns<\/span><\/a> to gain control of wealthy Italian districts, he is being met by wave of counter-demonstrators who have gained the nickname of sardines for packing themselves into city squares and showing silent discontent,<\/span> like fish<\/span><\/a>. To counter the grassroots movement against him, Salvini took to Facebook, posting a photo of a kitten eating a sardine with the caption: \u201cis there anything sweeter and beautiful than a kitten? P.S. Do your feline children like sardines and minnows?\u201d and a call for supporters to post photos of their cats.<\/span><\/p>\n

Naturally\u2014and regrettably\u2014the internet replied with more than 10,000 photos of cats, with others also posting photos of their dogs. This leaves the rest of us sympathising with Taylor Armstrong of <\/span>The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills <\/span><\/i>(and <\/span>that<\/span><\/i> meme) emphatically trying to explain to people why cute cat photos are not a reason to support far-right politicians.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":81664,"id":81664,"title":"76944859_10157122562808155_5208234246874857472_o","filename":"76944859_10157122562808155_5208234246874857472_o.jpg","filesize":132241,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/76944859_10157122562808155_5208234246874857472_o.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/this-far-right-italian-politician-is-trying-to-crush-his-opposition-with-internet-cats\/76944859_10157122562808155_5208234246874857472_o\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"76944859_10157122562808155_5208234246874857472_o","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":81659,"date":"2019-11-22 16:59:12","modified":"2019-11-22 16:59:12","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":960,"height":960,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/76944859_10157122562808155_5208234246874857472_o.jpg","thumbnail-width":96,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/76944859_10157122562808155_5208234246874857472_o.jpg","medium-width":960,"medium-height":960,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/76944859_10157122562808155_5208234246874857472_o.jpg","medium_large-width":960,"medium_large-height":960,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/76944859_10157122562808155_5208234246874857472_o.jpg","large-width":960,"large-height":960,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/76944859_10157122562808155_5208234246874857472_o.jpg","1536x1536-width":960,"1536x1536-height":960,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/76944859_10157122562808155_5208234246874857472_o.jpg","2048x2048-width":960,"2048x2048-height":960,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/76944859_10157122562808155_5208234246874857472_o.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":12,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/76944859_10157122562808155_5208234246874857472_o.jpg","wpvr_mobile-width":960,"wpvr_mobile-height":960}}],"settings":{"fit_width":"6","caption":"via @matteosalviniofficial"}}]},"yoast_head":"\nA far-right Italian politician is trying to crush his opposition with internet cats A far-right Italian politician is trying to crush his opposition with internet cats<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/this-far-right-italian-politician-is-trying-to-crush-his-opposition-with-internet-cats\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"de_DE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"A far-right Italian politician is trying to crush his opposition with internet cats A far-right Italian politician is trying to crush his opposition with internet cats\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/this-far-right-italian-politician-is-trying-to-crush-his-opposition-with-internet-cats\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Sleek Magazine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sleekmag\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-11-22T17:03:33+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2019-11-22T17:49:12+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Verfasst von\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"sleek team\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/\",\"name\":\"Sleek Magazine\",\"description\":\"Sleek is Germany\u2019s leading independent media house\/brand for creativity and innovation located in Berlin the creative capital of the world.
