Deputy Premier, Transport Minister and
League leader Matteo Salvini on Sunday congratulated Donald
Trump after he moved closer to the Republican presidential
nomination by winning the primaries in Idaho, Michigan and
Missouri.
"Three more steps forward for change at the White House,"
Salvini said via X.
"From Brussels to Washington, change is coming!".
Democratic Party (PD) MP Debora Serracchiani blasted Salvini's
reaction to the ex-president primary successes.
"Celebrating Trump's advance is like showing hatred for the
interests of Italy and Europe," Serracchiani said.
"Salvini hopes that we will be left on our own against Putin and
perhaps that he will get to us at home.
"There is always a fatal attraction towards autocrats and
dictators, the oppressors of peoples and the despisers of
rights, on the Right and in all forms of populism.
"The European elections (in June) are truly a moment in which we
will decide whether we want to remain free or serve a
foreigner".
