(ANSA) - Rome, February 13 - European Parliament Liberal
caucus leader Guy Verhofstadt will be out of a job after the May
26 European elections, Deputy Premier Matteo Salvini said
Wednesday, a day after Verhofstadt called Premier Giuseppe Conte
a "puppet" in the hands of Salvini and his fellow deputy
premier, Luigi Di Maio.
"After May 26 all these gentlemen will change jobs," said
Salvini referring to Verhofstadt and other EP members who
criticised the Italian government.
Salvini went on: "in the Strasbourg assembly bumpkins and
boors insulted a country, a far cry from Liberals".
On Tuesday Salvini said Verhofstadt's jibe was "disgraceful".
