(ANSA) - Strasbourg, January 13 - Matteo Salvini, head of
the Northern League, on Tuesday denounced the Italian
government's leadership during its six-month duty presidency of
the European Union, saying Premier Matteo Renzi wasted the
opportunity. "The Italian presidency was nothing," said Salvini.
"In this six months, there was nothing (to improve)
unemployment, nothing in the defence of agriculture, nothing to
defend our 'Made in Italy' (products)," Salvini said at the
official conclusion of the Italian term.
