Matteo Salvini said that, if reconfirmed as secretary of Italy’s Lega party, he would tell the Council of Ministers to stop funding Ukraine and supplying it with weapons, according to ANSA.
ANSA reported that the Lega congress featured a leadership vote between incumbent secretary Matteo Salvini and Senator Garavaglia. Salvini’s position was presented as conditional on his reconfirmation as party secretary, rather than as an adopted government decision or confirmed policy change.
The report also attributed to Giorgetti the statement that the person with greater support should be admitted, referring to the leadership contest.
The supplied ANSA report does not give the outcome of the leadership vote. It also does not establish that Salvini’s conditional proposal resulted in any change to government policy on funding or arms for Ukraine.
