Geert Wilders, the leader of Dutch
nationalist PVV party, said Wednesday that he would like to be
part of a single right-wing group at the EU level featuring
Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni and Deputy Premier and Transport
Minister Matteo Salvini.
The PVV is currently in the Identity and Democracy (ID) group
with Salvini's League and Marine Le Pen's National Rally (RN),
among others.
Brothers of Italy (FdI) leader Meloni is chair of the
Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) group, which also includes
Spain's Vox, France's Reconquest, Poland's Law and Justice and
the Sweden Democrats.
"I have a lot of respect both for Salvini and Meloni," Wilders
said at a rally in The Hague before the EU elections.
"If it were possible to form a broader group, I'd be
enthusiastic about joining them".
