Italian prosecutors have appealed to the Supreme Court to overturn the acquittal of Matteo Salvini, a former interior minister who blocked a migrant rescue ship from docking in 2019.

The unity of the sovereigntist bloc was on full display one year after its breakthrough in the European Parliamentary elections.

Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini described the scene as an example of the “silent Islamization of Italian schools.”

The international court “lost its impartiality,” Hungary argued, while Brussels warned that ‘disloyalty’ to common external security policies violates EU law.
“I have to listen to what my party and the voters ask of me,” the recently re-elected Lega party leader stated.

“What you are doing is not only right but also a mission that shapes Europe’s destiny,” PM Viktor Orbán told Salvini while presenting the Hunyadi Award.

Rejoicing at Trump’s victory does not mean alignment with the United States, the French presidential candidate emphasised.

“Acquitted for stopping mass immigration and defending my country,” the deputy PM said, while Patriot leaders were celebrating the result across Europe.

At the historic rally in Pontida, leaders from Italy, Hungary, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain united to advocate for border protection.
