The head of Italy's
anti-immigrant party on Wednesday said the president of Rome's
Jewish community was just as much a politician as he was after
warning him not to sit at the table with Marine Le Pen, the head
of France's far-right National Front.
"Yesterday he said if I sat down with Le Pen it meant the
Northern League was exiting democracy," said Matteo Salvini at a
press conference with Le Pen and other right-wing Euroskeptics
aiming to forge a new bloc in the European Parliament.
"I've sat down without any problems. I believe the fight
against Islamic extremism is also in (the Jews') interest.
"(Riccardo Pacifici), just like many other people here, is
a politician in addition to his other profession".
