On the Sept. 26 episode of “PiazzaPulita,” a La7 talk show hosted by Corrado Formigli, the president of the Centro Studi Machiavelli appeared to discuss the relevance of anti-fascism, the so-called “ius scholae” and the integration of young immigrants.

In a debate with Serena Bortone and Michela Ponzani, Scalea reiterated the Centro Studi Machiavelli's positions, highlighting the history of the current majority parties from the postwar period to the twists and turns of the end of the First Republic to the current experiences, and then explaining how immigration represents a problem for public order. And, contrary to clichés, that facilitating young foreigners in their access to Italian citizenship with tools such as “ius scholae” will not solve the discomfort and greater propensity to crime and radicalization of a disproportionate share of them, as the statistics and experiences of second and third generations from countries of older immigration have experienced.

Full video of the debate can be viewed at this link, starting from 1h 16′.

Also speaking about the debate was the newspaper "Libero" with an article by Roberto Tortora and an article by Francesco Storace.
