Salvini hails Trump election (3)
League leader says outcome is blow to globalization
(ANSA) - Milan, November 9 - Matteo Salvini, the leader of
the right-wing Northern League, on Wednesday hailed Donald
Trump's election as United States president as the "revenge of
the people".
"It's a blow to globalization," Salvini told the League's
Radio Padania.
"It's a win for courage, pride and labour and security
issues against the banks, speculators, journalists and
pollsters. The people have beaten the powers-that-be 3-0".
Salvini added that his party, which, like Trump, takes
hard-line stances on migration, should follow the lead of the
U.S. president elect.
"It's time to be more daring," he said, ahead of a rally
in Florence on Saturday against the Constitutional reform of
Premier Matteo Renzi's government.
"I'll propose to the League that Florence will be the
start of something, of a long march. It's a truly beautiful day
against everything".
Mario Borghezio, an outspoken MEP for the League, said d
Trump's win was a victory for "white, Christian America".
"Donald's victory is a clear good example for us in the
League to follow," he added.
"Long live white, Christian America".
