Deal on EU top jobs is insult to Italy says Salvini
Von der Leyen and associates are dividing up posts -League head
(see related) Deputy Premier, Transport Minister
and League leader Matteo Salvini on Wednesday blasted the
reported deal on the EU top jobs struck by the EPP, the
socialists and liberals as an insult to Italy.
The League belongs to the right-wing Identity and Democracy (ID)
group at the EU level, which, like the ECR Conservatives that
Premier Giorgia Meloni's Brothers of Italy (FdI) party is in,
was excluded from the talks on the top jobs.
"The arrogance of the European bureaucrats, who are now dividing
up their seats even though the people's votes rejected the
policies of this commission, is shameful," Salvini said in a
video message.
"The shady deal between the EPP and the Socialists cannot be the
future, it is an insult to Italy, to the French, who will vote
soon, and to the Europeans who have asked for change.
"Despite these position-dealers, the League is working for a
viable, necessary alternative that puts work, security and
families back in the centre, not the positions that von der
Leyen and her associates are dividing up".
