(ANSA) - ROME, JUL 18 - As expected Deputy Premier and
Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said his Forza Italia (FI) party
will vote for European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen
to get a second term, after she presented her policies in the EU
parliament on Thursday, while fellow Deputy Premier and
Transport Minister Matteo Salvini's League said it will vote
against.
It remains uncertain what the MEPs from Italian Premier Giorgia
Meloni's right-wing Brothers of Italy (FdI) party will do.
FdI MEP Nicola Procaccini said the Conservative ECR group FdI
belongs to and which Meloni chairs will give the national
delegations within it the freedom to choose how to vote. (ANSA).
