Barcelona is no longer Barcelona. And Plaça Reial, one of the most photographed and tourist-filled squares in the world, is the most evident proof of it. The video we show you exclusively on RGX Live tells in 40 seconds everything that the mainstream media refuses to tell. A random night in the center of the Catalan capital. A group of immigrants come to blows right in the middle of the square. Kicks, punches, shoving, a bicycle used as an improvised weapon. Around them, terror. Tourists jumping up from their tables, families running away with their children, waiters trying to get customers to safety. The brawl doesn’t stop, it moves a few meters and continues in front of the Karma Bar, one of the most famous clubs in the square, where only the intervention of the bouncers prevents the worst. Is this the Barcelona they have been selling us for 20 years as a model? The city of welcome, of integration, of happy multiculturalism? The reality is in front of everyone’s eyes: a city center held hostage by decay, where you can no longer go out at night. Where gangs of immigrants, many of them illegal, fight over territory under the helpless eyes of the police and a left-wing administration that has decided that talking about security is racism. What happened in Placa Reial is not an isolated case. It is the norm in a city where uncontrolled immigration has produced only insecurity, drug dealing and violence. It is the result of years of open-door policies, ideological do-goodism, tolerance towards those who have no desire to respect the rules of the country that hosts them. And the most serious thing is that this is exactly the model they want to import to Milan, to Rome, to Paris, to London. The same squares, the same scenes, the same insecurity. How long can we go on like this? How long will we have to pretend that everything is fine while our cities become unlivable? Barcelona is the warning. If we don’t change course, our future will be Placa Reial every night.

Milan, Piazza Duomo. Broad daylight. Tourists, families, children, just meters away from the Cathedral, the heart of Italy and 800 years of European history. And in the middle of it all, an Italian flag is set on fire and left burning on the ground. The video is only 22 seconds long. Raw, shaky, filmed by a passerby. It needs no commentary. The green, white and red burning while people just watch. It is an image that hurts. It is an image that infuriates anyone who loves this country. Because this is not just a piece of cloth. This is not just colors. The Tricolour is who we are. It is our history, our grandparents, our identity. To burn it in Piazza Duomo is to spit on the country that is hosting you. And this is where we must have an honest conversation about integration, and about its total failure in Italy and in Europe. For twenty years we have been told that integration means accepting everything. That we must understand, tolerate, justify. But integration has two sides. It cannot only be the host country that adapts. It must also be the person who arrives who shows respect. Minimum respect. For the laws, for the culture, for the symbols. What kind of integration is it if you go to another country and you burn the flag of the people who welcomed you? What message…

A surreal scene that has quickly gone viral is coming out of France. A bonfire lit in the middle of the street, with trash and debris still burning after days of protests, has been turned into an improvised barbecue. In the video now circulating on TikTok and Instagram, a group of young people is seen roasting marshmallows on long sticks directly over the flames. Around them, dozens of others watch and film the scene on their phones. Surreal images, somewhere between irony and recklessness, that have divided the web. For some, it’s a lighthearted way to defuse tension after days of unrest. For others, it’s a symbol of how far the protests have degraded. The clip, filmed in broad daylight in an urban area, has already racked up millions of views.

France is not stopping. After two weeks of protests that started in high schools and turned into urban guerrilla warfare, a new national demonstration has been announced for Saturday, October 25th. What started as a demand for teachers and desks has turned into a national revolt against the cost of living. Here is the shocking balance of these 15 days:

ARRESTS: Over 6,500 arrests since September 28th, including 1,200 on Saturday, October 17th alone. The Ministry of Justice reports 5,060 arrests in the first weeks, 87% minors. On October 1st alone, 1,949 detained – more than during the Yellow Vests in 2018.

SCHOOLS BURNED: 24 schools set on fire or looted, unable to reopen. Almost 30,000 students without classes. In Nantes a school burned down, in Marseille high school staff attacked and doused with petrol.

HEADTEACHERS ATTACKED: 88 school staff members injured, 40 are headteachers or deputies, “deliberately targeted” according to Education Minister Edouard Geffray. In La Ciotat a headmaster doused with petrol and beaten.

OFFICERS INJURED: 761 police officers and gendarmes injured since the beginning, 150 on Saturday October 17th alone. 60 security forces injured, two hospitalized unconscious. Over 500 police, firefighters and rescuers injured over the weekend of October 18-19.

DAMAGE: Tens of millions of euros. In Île-de-France alone 7 million euros damage to schools. More than 1,500 shops looted. In Limoges the 19th-century town hall burned down, roof collapsed, described as a “catastrophe for heritage”. In Lyon the tourist office set on fire, in Paris Place de la République devastated, luxury shops and supermarkets looted.

On Saturday, October 17th, according to the Ministry of Interior, 550,000 people on the streets in France, 110,000 in Paris (800,000 according to CGT). On Saturday 25th, a repeat is expected: convergence of high school students, university students, CGT unions, Yellow Vests and farmers. Macron rejected the resignation of Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez and calls for continuity. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu speaks of opportunist “casseurs”. The question now is only one: will France hold on Saturday?

Milan, two days of chaos in front of the Duomo – the aftermath. On Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th October, the centre of Milan turned into a battlefield. It all started as “Italia in Piazza”, a national demonstration against the cost of living, expensive fuel, bills and taxes. More than 5,000 people in the square with legitimate reasons. Then the protest was hijacked. Groups of very young people dressed in black, faces covered, started throwing stones, bottles, barriers and firecrackers at the police. They occupied Piazza Duomo, the Galleria, Via Torino. The result is what you see in the video: water cannons, tear gas, smashed shop windows, Rinascente, Nike, Foot Locker, Levi’s, Decathlon and a Carrefour looted. Scooters and dumpsters set on fire. Duomo metro station closed. Tourists barricaded inside shops. The official police figures released today, 19th October: 271 people taken to the police headquarters in two days, 220 are minors, some 12-13 years old, 32 total arrests, of which 23 minors. Among those arrested, 13 foreign citizens 104 officers injured on Saturday alone, another 14 on Sunday Estimated damages over 1 million euros. Contrary to what is circulating on social media, according to the official reports the vast majority of those detained are “Italian” kids, many of them minors. There is a part of foreigners and second generations, as in all major European cities, but they are not the majority according to the official numbers. And here comes the most important point, that no one wants to face: failed integration. It is not a question of ethnicity or religion. It is a question of failed integration. When you have thousands of 13, 14, 15-year-old kids making appointments on TikTok and Telegram to go and smash everything in the Duomo, who were born and raised here, who have no prospects, who don’t study, who don’t work, who see the State only as Police, it means that the integration model has failed. It was not enough to give a house. It was not enough to give a subsidy. If you don’t teach language, respect, work, rules, Italian culture, you create a generation of children of no one. Neither Italian, nor foreign. Just angry. And this anger now explodes together with that of Italians who cannot make ends meet. It is the same anger you saw in the video of the farmer sitting on the ground in front of the Carabinieri. Two different faces of the same hardship. Milan is the warning. If we don’t start again from school, work and security, what happened in Paris will happen here too. Italy in chaos, Europe in chaos.

Paris, last night. A few blocks from the Arc de Triomphe. We don’t know their names, and we don’t need to. He is in a black hooded jacket. She is blonde, with glasses, wrapped in a dark green shawl. On the small round marble table: two glasses, an ashtray, a bottle of water. That’s all. Behind them, the city is doing what Paris has always done. It is burning. Two fires glow orange at both ends of the boulevard. Smoke rises slow. Silhouettes walk quickly on the wet pavement. On the glass behind them, the flames reflect like a second sunset. It looks like a movie scene. But it was just another night in October. And they? They stayed. He leans back, takes a sip. She listens. They talk quietly, as if the rest of the world has been muted. Not out of indifference. Not out of naivety. But out of a very old, very Parisian form of resistance: the decision that your evening, your ritual, your person across the table, is worth more than all the noise outside. They are not unaware tourists. They are Paris itself. They know Paris burns and is reborn every ten years. Governments fall, streets are closed, barricades go up and down. But the little bistro tables always stay exactly where they are. That is the real image from last night near the Arc. Not the fires. Not the bangers. But two people choosing to remain seated, close, protecting a moment of peace. Because in the end, when the street gets hot and the world feels uncertain, the only thing that truly matters is who you are sharing your drink with. This is Paris. This is life, continuing.

For 30 years they told us the European Union was the future. Peace, prosperity, unity. What did we get? Over 92 million people at risk of poverty in the richest continent on earth. Corruption in Brussels on an industrial scale. Wages that haven’t moved in 20 years. And a war in Ukraine that we are paying for, that will never be won, while our own cities collapse. It’s time to ask the forbidden question: What if leaving is not radical, but rational? This is the official Eurostat number. 92 million Europeans at risk of poverty or social exclusion. One in five. In Italy, in France, in Germany, people cannot pay rent. Young people live with their parents until 35 because they cannot afford a house. Food banks in London. Pensioners counting coins in Berlin. And what does Brussels do? It talks about green transition, digital identity, and pronouns. The EU is rich enough to send €100 billion to Ukraine, but too poor to lift its own people out of poverty. That tells you everything about its priorities. Qatargate. Pfizergate. The deleted SMS between Ursula von der Leyen and the Pfizer CEO for a €35 billion vaccine contract. No transcript, no investigation, no resignation. The EU Court of Auditors itself says billions disappear every year. The EU has never had its accounts fully approved. Commissioners earning €25,000 a month, tax-free, plus housing, plus pensions for life. They have never created a single job, but they regulate the size of your vacuum cleaner. This is not a union. It’s a cartel for the political class. Look at your paycheck. In Italy, in France, in Spain, real wages are flat or lower than 15 years ago. Life is more expensive. Energy bills tripled. Supermarkets up 40%. Meanwhile, the EU bureaucracy grew by 30%. They get automatic raises. They get inflation bonuses. You get told to “tighten your belt” and “consume less”. How is it progress if after 20 years in the EU you earn less, own less, and can afford less? We have given Ukraine more than €200 billion between weapons, cash, and “aid.” For what? The front line hasn’t moved in two years. No one in Brussels can even define what “victory” means. We are deindustrializing Germany to sanction Russia, while Russia sells more gas than before. We are emptying our own arsenals, while our streets have no police. We are told to risk nuclear war for a country that is not in the EU, not in NATO, and is ranked one of the most corrupt in the world. America will cut a deal and leave. Europe will be left with the bill, the refugees, and the hatred. Brussels banned the combustion engine by 2035. It closed nuclear plants in Germany. It imposed ETS taxes that make it impossible to produce steel, cement, or cars in Europe. Result: BASF leaves Germany. Factories close in Italy. We now import Chinese electric cars to replace the cars we invented. We import American gas at 4x the price of Russian gas and call it “freedom.” This is not ecological. It’s economic suicide. Did you vote to have open borders? Did you vote for 2 million illegal entries per year? Did you vote for Digital Services Act censorship? Did you vote for Ursula von der Leyen? No. No one did. She was installed in a backroom deal. The EU Parliament cannot propose laws. It can only approve what unelected Commissioners write. This is not democracy. This is the opposite of democracy. Brexit was called a disaster. Britain left and its economy outgrew Germany in the last 2 years. Britain could control its borders, its energy, its money. The EU was supposed to make us richer, safer, freer. It made us poorer, less safe, less free. Nations are not leaving because they hate Europe. They must leave because they love their nations. Because they want to decide their own wages, their own borders, their own energy, their own wars. France for the French. Italy for the Italians. Germany for the Germans. Not for Brussels. The EU will not reform itself. It only knows how to take more power, more money, more control. The only vote that matters is the vote to leave.

Milan in Chaos for Second Day: Looting, Smashed Stores and Over 160 Detained – VIDEO From Via Torino. Milan is in chaos for the second day in a row. What you see in the video published by RGX Live happened on Sunday, October 18, in the heart of the city, between Via Torino, Piazza Duomo, Largo Cairoli and Corso Vittorio Emanuele. After the clashes on Saturday 17th during the cost-of-living protests, thousands of very young people gathered in Duomo square following calls spread on social media. What followed was not a demonstration. It was urban guerrilla. Groups, many with faces covered and dressed in black, moved fast in small groups. They ripped apart the outdoor terraces of bars and restaurants, overturned tables, chairs, bins and e-scooters onto the tram tracks to block traffic. In Via Torino, the footage shows piles of chairs and tables stacked in front of shops. Then the attacks on stores. The video clearly shows. Smashed windows of Mango, Champion, Foot Locker, Primark, Vodafone, Nadine. Attempted break-in at La Rinascente in Piazza Duomo and at McDonald’s in the Galleria. Looting of the Carrefour supermarket in Via Torino, where staff barricaded themselves inside. Looting of Decathlon in Piazza Cairoli. Stones, bottles, firecrackers and paper bombs thrown at shop windows and at police. Panic among tourists and shop owners. Many shops lowered their shutters early. The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele was sealed off, historic bars like Camparino, Biffi and Cracco removed their outdoor furniture. The Duomo was closed early to tourists, worshippers were led out through side doors.nThe police response: riot units, helmets, shields, tear gas, water cannons and a police helicopter over the centre. Charges in Via Torino and Cordusio, detentions in Piazza Duomo. The toll: according to Milan Police Headquarters, over 160 people were stopped and taken for identification on Sunday alone, more than 80% minors. On Saturday there were 28 arrests and over 140 officers injured across Italy. A security summit has been called at Palazzo Chigi for Monday, October 19. What the video shows is acts of vandalism and organized looting in the city centre, with heavy damage to shops and public property.
