(ANSA) - ROME, JUL 19 - Deputy Premier and Transport Minister
Matteo Salvini said Friday that he was in "total agreement" with
Premier Giorgia Meloni after MEPs from both his League party and
her Brothers of Italy (FdI) voted against European Commission
President Ursula von der Leyen's re-election on Thursday.
"I'm happy about the League-Brothers of Italy unity," said
Salvini, adding that he had been texting the premier.
The other main partner in Meloni's governing coalition, Deputy
Premier and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani's centre-right Forza
Italia, voted in favour of von der Leyen getting a second term
at the helm of the EU executive. (ANSA).
