(ANSA) - Rome, September 25 - European Parliament President
Antonio Tajani said Monday that the strong showing of the
right-wing, nationalist AfD party in Germany's general election
was "a negative signal for Italy". "This party is anti-Italian,
anti-Mediterranean, it almost considers them inferior beings,"
Tajani told RAI television. "I hope the political arena finally
sees the presence of a stronger Italy, because the German result
demands that Italy be a leading player to have a balanced
Europe, a Europe that looks to the future".
