The League is lying in saying it has
severed all ties with Vladimir Putin's United Russia party and a
no confidence motion in League leader, Deputy Premier and
Transport Minister Matteo Salvini for his allegedly pro-Putin
stances will go ahead, centrist opposition Azione (Action) party
House Whip Matteo Richetti said Tuesday.
"The League's statement contains a new lie: now they explain to
us that after Putin's invasion of Ukraine that text is no longer
valid, but actually that accord contains an automatic renewal
clause.
"The truth is that Salvini's ambiguities on Russia are all but
clarified and it is for that reason that we are going ahead with
our no confidence motion, convinced (of its validity)"
