(ANSA) - ROME, APR 24 - The first goal of the European
Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) caucus at the European
Parliament is to "defend our nations," ECR Chair and Italian
Premier Giorgia Meloni told the caucus in unveiling its
manifesto for the June 8-9 European elections in Strasbourg
Tuesday evening.
"Our first objective will be to defend our nations from attempts
to deprive them of their powers," she told a rally of the
conservative parties including Spain's Vox, Poland's Law and
Justice, Eric Zemmour's French Reconquete (Reconquest), the
Sweden Democrats, and the Finns Party, a group which is led by
Meloni's Brothers of Italy (FdI) party and is soon set to see
the arrival of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's Fidesz
too. (ANSA).
