Brussels – General Vannacci The new Patriots for Europe group in the European Parliament is heating up the atmosphere. The League MEP, highly sought after on the lists by the party’s secretary, Matteo Salvini, becomes a caseThe French delegation of the Patriots (30 members) questions his election as vice-president of the parliamentary group and asks that the decision be reversed because the vote was taken “by mistake” by the representatives of the National Rally.
On Monday (15 July), the group will take stock at a preparatory meeting ahead of the first session of the new Parliament. “We will make all decisions at the next group meeting on Monday”“said the spokesman for the Patriotas group, Alfonso De Mendoza, without denying the need to make some decisions.He was elected by acclamation. For me, there is no problem at all.” said the leader of the League delegation Pablo BorchiaAccording to statements made by De Mendoza to the press, however, there are problems. “There is no division. There is a new group, which has just been formed,” the spokesman tries to play down the importance. Translated: some MEPs still do not know how the European Parliament works.
In practice, the usual mistakes of beginners were made, which is not a good calling card for those who want to establish themselves as an alternative to the traditional forces. Vannacci’s figure certainly encourages the internal debate within the group. The French want to reverse their vote, showing distrust towards the General and, implicitly, a rejection of Salvini, who promoted him.
