Marine Le Pen on Monday hailed rightwing Brothers of Italy (FdI)
Giorgia Meloni's "historic" victory in Sunday's Italian general
election at the head of a centre-right coalition featuring
League leader Matteo Salvini and Forza Italia (FI) chief Silvio
Berlusconi.
"The Italian people has decided to take back its destiny,
electing a patriotic and nationalist government," said the
French politician.

resisted the threats of an anti-democratic and arrogant European
Union, obtaining this great victory".

after Poland, Hungary, Sweden and now Italy, I urge you to join
the National rally". (ANSA).
