MILAN - Nationalist and far-right parties from across Europe held a rally on Saturday, led by Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini, promising to reshape the continent following next week’s EU parliamentary election.
However, the gathering in front of Milan’s gothic cathedral was overshadowed by a scandal engulfing one of Salvini’s most prominent allies, Austria’s Freedom Party, whose leader quit on Saturday as government vice-chancellor after he was videoed offering state contracts in exchange for political support.
“Five years ago we were isolated, but today, with our allies, we will finally be in a position to change this Europe,” she said, predicting that the new alliance would be the third biggest group in the next EU parliament, against the eighth spot that the comparable far-right group claimed last time around.
But they often have different social and economic policies, including budgetary discipline, meaning they might struggle to put forward a coherent policy agenda.
