Italy's League, a junior party in the government, is putting forward a provocative candidate for European Party elections. League Leader Matteo Salvini is trying to breathe new life into the party after it has fared poorly in recent polling. On Tuesday, Salvini appeared in their first joint campaign stop with Gen. Roberto Vannacci.

General Roberto Vannacci attends the presentation of a book by the League leader Matteo Salvini in Rome , Tuesday, April 30, 2024. Vannacci will be one of the League candidates at the next Europe an Parliament elections.
Vannacci’s candidacy has dominated Italian political discourse, headlines and newscasts for days and drew a standing-room only audience Tuesday at Rome’s Hadrian’s Temple, an ancient Roman temple-turned-conference center not far from parliament. Vannacci led Italian troops in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya — and before that in the Balkans, Rwanda and Somalia — and was awarded the U.S. Legion of Merit in 2018 for his leadership against the Islamic State group.
In February, Rome prosecutors opened an investigation into alleged incitement to racial hatred, Italian news reports said. And this week, Vannacci kept the outrage alive, on the left and right, by telling La Stampa newspaper that disabled children should be taught separately in schools.
