(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 24 - Premier Giorgia Meloni said Friday
that she has things in common with Marine Le Pen, the
parliamentary party leader of France's right-wing National Rally
(RN) group.
"It is clear that there are points in common," Meloni told the
Trento Economy Festival (Festival dell'Economia).
"There are points of contact on combating illegal immigration,
on the approach to the Green transition, on defence of the
European identity".
At the European level, Le Pen's RN is part of the Identity and
Democracy (ID) group that Italy's League party, one of the
coalition partners in Meloni's government, belongs to.
Meloni's right-wing Brothers of Italy (FdI) party, on the other
hand, is part of the European Conservatives and Reformists
(ECR) group and she is president of it.
The potential for agreements between the various European
political groups is a hot topic ahead of next month's EU
elections. (ANSA).
