The relations of the Russian government and diplomatic network with parties of extremist, populist, anti-European and certain other European political parties in the context of the war (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I would not like this debate to stem from the obsession that some members of the Italian Democratic Party have with my party, the League, and its leader Matteo Salvini. Not words, but irrefutable facts. According to VoteWatch, in an analysis of the votes in the European Parliament, it turns out that it was the Democratic Party and the Five Star Movement that …
