Right-wing Italian senator sets up “Italexit” party two days after meeting with Nigel Farage of the Brexit party
Italian Senator Gianluigi Paragone speaks to media outside the Italian Senate in this still image taken from video, in Rome, Italy March 24, 2018. Video taken March 24, 2018.
Paragone, who is also a former TV journalist, said: “We can no longer be blackmailed by countries that offend the great prestige of Italy.” But with Italy and the EU reaching a deal on Tuesday in order to launch an economic recovery fund worth 750 billion euros, the bloc's supporters felt encouraged to vouch for renewed Eurocentric cohesion and vision.
Despite populist Lega Nord’s leader Matteo Salvini softening his hard-line against the EU, the timing of Paragone’s move looks questionable, coming as the EU reached a deal on Tuesday to launch the economic recovery fund.
