(ANSA) - ROME, AUG 21 - Roberto Vannacci, an Italian general
elected as an MEP in June's European elections as an independent
on the League's list of candidates, says he is not leaving the
party.
"The committee the world upside down, born in August 2023" is
turning from a "cultural association to a political association
- that's it", he said, responding on Wednesday to a question
posed by Affaritaliani.it on whether he wants to launch the
"Sovereign Europe" party and split from the League.
He said his association "attracts anyone sharing my positions"
and, "given Vannacci is an MEP for the League and has no
intention of leaving, the League will also benefit".
Vannacci is among six vice-presidents of the newly formed
Patriots for Europe group in the EU Parliament.
The group's MEPs elected Jordan Bardella, the president of
France's right-wing National Rally (RN) party, as the head of
the caucus. (ANSA).
