Milan, 23 August (LaPresse) – ‘It comes as no surprise that, even in the last few hours, the left is strengthening its anti-Italian and warmongering positions and its servility towards certain foreign governments such as Paris.’ This was stated in a note from the Lega. "In 2018, the spokesperson for Macron's French majority party declared that the Italian government's position on migrants was “disgusting”: Matteo Salvini was at the Interior Ministry and, after years of open borders, our country was finally protecting its borders. On that occasion, the PD did not tear its clothes as it is doing now. And shortly afterwards, a undersecretary in the Renzi and Gentiloni governments, Sandro Gozi, formally embraced Macron's battles, even becoming a Member of the European Parliament elected in France," Salvini's party said. ‘We would like to point out that, unlike migration policies, the conflict in Ukraine involves all EU countries and it is therefore even more necessary to express opinions on the matter, as Matteo Salvini has done, in tones that are certainly not “disgusting”,’ the statement concludes.
