“Macron a warmonger. Continent in danger” –

The hypothesis of sending troops to Ukraine put forward by Emmanuel Macron meets opposition from Matteo Salvini. The President of the French Republic has not ruled out considering moving NATO forces towards Kiev and has divided the European political world. “It will be necessary to carry out operations on the ground, whatever they may be, to face the Russian forces. France’s strength is that we can do it”, he said. Statements, those from the head of the Elysée, are very dangerous and raise the specter of a terrible escalation. The deputy prime minister and minister of Infrastructure and Transport expressed his opinion on the topic. “To even allow a glimpse that Italian, French and German soldiers might leave their country to go to war I think is dangerous. Macron’s words represent a danger for our country and for our continent. The problem is not mothers and dad, but warmongers like Macron. I don’t want to leave our children a continent ready to enter the Third World War”, he stated during his speech at the event «Winds of change – Towards a Europe of cooperation», organized by the Identity and Democracy party, in Rome.

The European vote must be “a great mandate to bring progress and peace” to Europe, “enough with people talking regarding missiles” as if it were normal. “Let’s go and take back this Europe which is our home, not theirs”, continued Salvini, then shifting the focus to the case of alleged dossierage which has overheated the political climate in recent weeks. “You can spy on us, you can file us, you can follow us, you can try us and at most arrest us, but you will never stop our ideas and our desire for freedom”, said the leader of the League. “They are trying in the media to make us lose our desire, they have found the wrong person and party. With a smile and determination: forward”, he concluded.
