“Today, June 2nd, there is the military parade, the tricolour, our Alpini, the Carabinieri, those who sacrificed themselves for Italian national sovereignty. Today is the feast of the Italians, of the Republic, therefore it is not the feast of European sovereignty. What is European sovereignty? We have a President of the Republic because there is a Republic, because there is Italian national sovereignty”. This was stated by the vice-president of the Council and secretary of the League, Matteo Salvini, guest of ‘In half an hour’ on Raitre, also in light of a tweet by Northern League senator Claudio Borghi, critical of the Head of State, Sergio Mattarella, for yesterday’s statements on European sovereignty.
“I think of Europe – adds the Northern League leader – as a set of sovereign, autonomous, free, independent states, which together bring together some energies, some forces. The Europe of Erasmus, the Europe of young people, the Europe of cultural and commercial exchanges, but national sovereignty is absolutely fundamental.”
“So, beyond the tweets, today we celebrate the Italian Republic, not the European Union of multinationals financed by Soros who would like to put everything made in Italy out of the norm. So on this – adds Salvini – I will never give up on a European super state where those with money are in charge. This is Europe.”
“No controversy with the President of the Republic and no controversy with the Holy Fatherwhich has been criticized by others in recent days. Simply today is June 2nd, Republic Day, Italian Day and for me Italian national sovereignty comes before any other affiliation” stated the vice-president of the Council and secretary of the League, Matteo Salvini, guest of ‘Stasera Italia’, on Retequattro. “Italians will certainly choose the Europe they want this week next e I want a different Europe than today’s. With all due respect for the expression of everyone starting from the Quirinale, today is the feast of the Italians, today the Alpini, the Carabinieri, the best of our country marched, for me Italian national sovereignty comes first of all “.
“We work to move forward, we are not asking for anyone’s resignation, Borghi is an excellent senator of ours, I think that the Head of State has perhaps been misrepresented by some newspaper“, adds the Northern League leader.
Borghi (Lega): “For Mattarella, sovereignty belongs to the EU? He resigns”
“It’s June 2nd, it’s Italian Republic Day. Today the sovereignty of our nation is consecrated” writes Lega senator Claudio Borghi on X, posting a photo of an article on yesterday’s statements by the President of the Republic. “If the president really thinks that sovereignty belongs to the European Union instead of Italy, for consistency he should resignbecause its function would no longer make sense”.
Schlein: “Lega’s very serious attack on Mattarella, Meloni must distance himself”
“A very serious, unprecedented attack by the League on the President of the Republic” said Elly Schlein. “We would like the Prime Minister to distance herself, but in the meantime we say it: they thank the President of the Republic for his daily work, for representing the national unity and to guarantee the Constitution”.
Tajani: “Solidarity with Mattarella, our identity is Italian and European”
“We are Italians and Europeans, this is our identity” Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani writes on X. “This is our civilization. Every anti-European choice is harmful for Italy. Mattarella is right to underline our European perspective. I express my solidarity with him for the attacks he has received“.
