The vice-president of the Italian government expresses his undivided solidarity with Donald Trump Matteo Salvini putting Italy in a difficult position with his statements. Matteo Salvini with his post on X expresses his undivided solidarity with Donald Trump. “In Italy we know well, unfortunately, the use of the judicial system by the Left, because for a number of years it has tried to exterminate political opponents by judicial means”, underlines the vice-president of the Italian government and secretary of the League. He adds that “he hopes Trump wins, because this victory would be a guarantee of greater balance and peace in the world”.

Just before the European elections, Salvini raises his voice again.

The leader of the League, however, is fighting for survival. According to the latest polls, his party is at 8.6% of the voter intention, while the Brothers of Italy are at 26.5%. And Forza Italia, which had been founded by Berlusconi, is at 9.2%. After the European elections, that is, it is very likely that the procedures to replace Salvini will be accelerated.

A few days ago, of course, together with Marine Le Pen, had distanced himself from the Alternative for Germany, saying that all political relations were being severed. The obvious goal of both is to be able to work with almost all conservative and center-right forces in the future governance of Europe. But advertising political proximity and solidarity with Trump certainly does not help and creates a new divide. For now, however, in these last days of the election campaign, the secretary of the League is trying to increase the percentages of his party, promising the voters very “practical interventions”. Like that he will fight so that in the near future they can be rented and sold as apartments, attics and semi-basements, which do not exceed twenty square meters…
