Matteo Salvini: Macron the war drummer is "dangerous" for Europe
The Deputy Prime Minister of Italy, Matteo Salvini, has said that the President of France, Emmanuel Macron, is a "warmonger" and a "danger" for Europe by continuing to stick to his position of sending ground troops of Western countries to Ukraine.
Salvini's remarks were made during a meeting in Rome of European right-wing and nationalist leaders ahead of the EU parliamentary elections in June this year.
Salvini, whose far-right League party is a partner in Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's coalition government, said that French President Emmanuel Macron's suggestion last month that Western ground troops could be sent to Ukraine was too dangerous. excessive and has no equation.
"I think President Macron, with his words, represents a danger to our country and our continent," the Deputy Prime Minister of Italy emphasized.
"The problem is not mothers and fathers, but war-lovers like Macron who talk about war as if there is no problem at the moment. I don't want to leave our children with a continent that is ready to enter the Third World War" emphasized Salvini.
In similar remarks, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Italy, Antonio Tajani, also said in the middle of this month of March that his country does not support the issue of sending NATO troops to Ukraine, warning that the move could trigger the Third World War.
Last month, French President Emmanuel Macron openly discussed the possibility of sending European troops to Ukraine to fight Russia.
