To his admirers, Marco Minniti, Italy’s powerful interior minister, is the mastermind who solved Europe’s migration problem. He also passed a new immigration law that critics allege violates the country’s constitution and the European Convention on Human Rights by not ensuring the right to a fair trial. According to a September poll, he is the most popular minister in the Italian government. “He is the minister of fear and has emerged as the man of the year when it comes to communication.”One of Minniti’s mantras is to confront fear, which he describes as “a legitimate feeling, one democracy needs to listen to and deal with. But even Matteo Salvini, the leader of Italy’s far-right Northern League praises the minister.
