Deputy Premier, Transport Minister
and League leader Matteo Salvini said Thursday that European
Commission President Ursula von der Leyen had been re-elected
for a second term thanks to "yet another shady deal.
"It's another slap in the face with new green taxes, (migrant)
landings and war, and it goes against the votes of millions of
citizens who demanded a clear change in Brussels," he continued
in a social-media post.
"The League voted NO and, along with the Patriots (the
third-biggest group in the European Parliament), will not stand
by watching, it will defend the security, jobs and pride of
Italians at all costs".
