(ANSA) - Milan, February 7 - League leader Matteo Salvini on Wednesday called for Italy to bring back obligatory military service. "Yes, I think a conscription army is best for democracy in the face of a rise in racism and the threat of terrorism," Salvini said at an event organised by veteran associations in Milan.
"We have proposed a law reintroducing military service on a regional basis for six months.
"It would do many young men and women good".
