Resumen
Descripción
A partir de la crisis económica de 2008, el actual escenario internacional ha cambiado
su configuración hacia un mundo multipolar de competencia y de cierta desconfianza
entre las naciones, dando cuenta de un orden internacional en disputa. En el caso de
Italia, siendo uno de los países más afectados de la zona euro, se dio el ascenso al
gobierno de una coalición de centro derecha que, desde su matriz discursiva, hace foco
en la inmigración como principal causa de “los males italianos”.
El presente artículo pretende contribuir al debate sobre la articulación entre discurso y
poder que se da en la actualidad, poniendo foco en un caso específico de la Unión
Europea. El mismo se centrará en analizar el discurso de Matteo Salvini (Vicepremier y
Ministro del Interior de la República Italiana) en el que se da una articulación entre la
seguridad ciudadana y la llegada de refugiados y emigrantes no regulares a la Península
Itálica.
El análisis se basará en el racconto de diversos discursos y material de prensa, más el
estudio de dos medidas gubernamentales adoptadas por el Ministro: a) el “Decreto de
Seguridad e Inmigración” (2018), que dificulta la llegada de refugiados y facilita
expulsiones; y b) la aprobación de la nueva “Ley de Legítima Defensa” (2019).
Por último, nuestra conclusión pretende dar cuenta del uso político que el neogobierno italiano hace respecto de los sectores más cuestionados dentro de la compleja
sociedad italiana, a fin de lograr consenso y gobernabilidad en el país europeo.
As of the economic crisis of 2008, the current international scenario has changed its configuration towards a multipolar world of competition and some distrust among nations, giving account of an international order in dispute. In the case of Italy, being one of the most affected countries in the euro zone, there was the rise to the government of a center-right coalition that, from its discursive matrix, focuses on immigration as the main cause of “the Italian evils " This article aims to contribute to the debate on the articulation between discourse and power that is currently taking place, focusing on a specific case of the European Union. It will focus on analyzing the speech of Matteo Salvini (Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister of the Italian Republic) in which there is an articulation between citizen security and the arrival of refugees and non-regular migrants to the Italian Peninsula. The analysis will be based on the racconto of various speeches and press material, plus the study of two government measures adopted by the Minister: a) the “Security and Immigration Decree” (2018), which hinders the arrival of refugees and facilitates expulsions; and b) the approval of the new “Law of Legitimate Defense” (2019). Finally, our conclusion aims to account for the political use that the Italian neo-government makes regarding the most questioned sectors within the complex Italian society, in order to achieve consensus and governance in the European country.
