The European Court of Human Rights
"has broken our balls" with its ruling on recognition for
same-sex unions when there are greater emergencies facing Italy,
Matteo Salvini said Tuesday.
In a post on his Facebook page, the Northern League leader
complained that the Strasbourg court said "not a word on
immigration, on taxes, on pensions, on unemployment.
"I think that these are emergencies for heterosexuals and
homosexuals," added Salvini.
The court ruled on the case brought by three gay couples,
saying that Italy has not respected the rights of same-sex
partners in a committed union.
