European Commission Head Threatens Italy Ahead of Elections

Hat tip Vlad Tepes, Gates of Vienna, and HeHa


On Thursday, European Commission President Ursula Von Der Leyen, speaking at Princeton, appeared to make a threat against Italy if the center-right coalition wins the upcoming Italian elections and takes control of the government. It appears that Giorgia Meloni, head of the Fratelli d' Italia party (Brothers of Italy), is poised to become Italy's first female prime minister. That does not sit well with the EU folks in Brussels. Her remarks can be seen below.


 


 Von der Leyen's remarks have upset conservative leaders like Matteo Salvini of the Lega party. In the below video excerpt, Salvini expresses his disgust at Von Der Leyen's words. Translation is by Fousesquawk.
