(ANSA) - Rome, February 5 - Deputy Premier, Interior Minister
and League leader Matteo Salvini on Tuesday said Venezuelan
President Nicolas Maduro was an outlaw and fresh elections
should be held as soon as possible after last July's allegedly
rigged ballot, as opposition leader Juan Guaidò is demanding.
"Maduro is an outlaw: he starves, imprisons and tortures his
people," said Salvini in a statement.
"I hope for free and democratic elections as soon as
possible. I'm close to the millions of Italians, and descendants
of Italians, who live, resist and suffer in Venezuela".
Salvini's government partner, the anti-establishment 5-Star
Movement (M5S), says Italy should not meddle in Venezuelan
politics.
