“The agreement with Putin no longer exists” –

Is the agreement with Putin’s party no longer there? “Absolutely. Calenda is waiting for the registered letter with the return receipt, I will send a certified email to Putin. It is clear that it is bad faith, like that of those who have sought Russian funds for years, never asked for, never seen, nor given.” Matteo Salvini, leader of the League, says this in an interview with Libero following the Chamber’s no to the motion of no confidence in him presented by the opposition.

«They are looking for what isn’t there, a trial on an agreement – moreover in the international bodies from which the Russians had been expelled, so I would have collaborated only with myself – which since the beginning of the war in Ukraine we said had been canceled. Did I respect Putin as a man of government until the invasion of Ukraine? Yes, like Berlusconi, Renzi, Prodi, like all the successive heads of government. I saw Putin once in my life, while others made commercial and economic agreements with us, I repeat, rightly so. The problem is not the Russian people, the problem is having unleashed a senseless war that the world would have gladly done without.” «So it is clear – he continues – that, if until the day before, everyone had a certain opinion of Putin – and I repeat, others have made commercial agreements worth billions, I had made a cultural agreement – the moment you start a war you’re on the wrong side. There is nothing to cancel – he reiterates – because there is nothing in existence.”
