(ANSA) - ROME, FEB 8 - Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said Thursday he did not agree with one word uttered by Eric Zemmour, the controversial far-right French politician whose Reconquete party on Wednesday joined the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) caucus led by Tajani's domestic ally and Premier Giorgia Meloni.
    Asked if Zemmour's joining the ERC might cool relations with the centre-right European People's Party (EPP), of which Tajani's post Berlusconi Forza Italia (FI) is a part, the FM, who is also deputy premier, said "I don't share a word of what Zemmour says".
    As well as now Reconquete, the ECR includes Spain's Vox and Poland's Law and Justice Party.
    The ECR was founded around the Movement for European Reform following the 2009 European elections at the behest of then British Conservative Party leader David Cameron. Currently it is the fifth-largest group in the European Parliament with 66 MEPs from 16 countries (ANSA).
