Salvini verges on nationalism -Moscovici

(ANSA - Paris, November 5 - Deputy Premier and Interior Minister Matteo Salvini borders on nationalism and xenophobia, European Economic Affairs Commissioner Pierre Moscovici said Monday.
    Moscovici said the anti-migrant Euroskeptic League leader "does not embody what I love, Signor Salvini is a far-right leader, an ally of Madame Le Pen, who continually borders on nationalism and xenophobia," he said.
    "But," he added, "Italy remains a great democracy and I hope its stays that way".
    Premier Giuseppe Conte said Moscovici "should be more cautious" in his public statements and that he hoped the Commission would not be unduly influenced.
