(ANSA) - ROME, JUL 18 - Carlo Fidanza, the head of the MEPs
from Premier Giorgia Meloni's Brothers of Italy (FdI) party,
said Thursday that the right-wing group had voted against
Fidanza, with von der Leyen unheeded message from voters
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen getting a
second term because she hadn't taken in the message people made
in last months EU elections.
"The choices made (by von der Leyen in recent days, the
political guidelines, the search for support on the Left, going
as far as the Greens, made our support for the reappointment of
President Ursula von der Leyen impossible," said Fidanza.
"The strong message of change that came out of the ballot box on
June 9 has not been heeded". (ANSA).
