Deputy Premier and 5-Star Movement
(M5S) leader Luigi Di Maio said Friday "I'm concerned about this
ultraright drift at a European level with political forces that
will be part of the group the League will ally with, which go so
far as to deny the Holocaust in some cases".
He said "we're talking about parliamentary groups who have
left the parliament when the Holocaust massacres and what they
did in the concentration camps were being commemorated, and so
when I see these things I am worried.
"It is my duty as a political force and political head of the
M5S to say that those things do not belong to me, in fact we
will create a single and independent group in parliament with
other civic movements like our and we won't be with these
ultraright (forces), which worry me a lot when it comes to
ideological clashes".
League leader Matteo Salvini is seeking alliances with other
rightist 'sovereigntist' leaders and groups like France's Marine
Le Pen, Hungary's Viktor Orban, Alternative for Germany (AfD)
and Poland's Law and Justice party, among others, ahead of the
May European elections.
