Deputy Premier and Transport Minister
Matteo Salvini said Sunday that he does not have a beef with
French President Emmanuel Macron, a day after calling him a
"warmonger", while stressing that he thinks the idea Macron
mooted of sending Western troops to Ukraine was dangerous.
"I don't have anything against Macron, but a Europe that talks
about sending its soldiers to the slaughter outside its borders
is one that goes against the principles of the European
Community, at a time when we should be working to defend
ourselves against Islamic terrorists," Salvini said an event for
his League party in Rome.
On Saturday Salvini said that "with his words, Macron is a
danger for our country and for this continent" during a Rome
convention of the Identity and Democracy (ID) group that the
League party belongs to at the European level.
"I don't want to leave a continent ready to enter World War III
to my children," he said.
