Matteo Salvini

“I'm a federalist.”

“We have created a ministry of the family to work on fertility, nurseries, on a fiscal system which takes large families into account.”

“Changing Europe is a big goal. But I think it is at our fingertips.”

“We are for pension reform, jobs, the flat tax, and justice reforms.”

“Why on earth would free people remain prisoners in a cage of absurd laws and regulation, with rigid constraints that humiliate the true needs of the people and their country?”

“I'm sick of seeing the immigrants in the hotels and the Italians who sleep in cars. This is the racist country.”

“Anti-Semites are imbeciles and delinquents.”

“We will go to Europe to change the rules that have impoverished Italians.”

“Europe advises, sometimes threatens, and tells us, 'You should make a budget of 10 billion euros in taxes.' Are they joking? The last thing that Italy needs is taxes.”

“An Italy that collects lower taxes, that has well-defined times for the court proceedings, and that has less bureaucracy is good news that reassures the markets.”

“We will work to modify and remove some European parameters, but regarding the euro, I remain convinced that the single currency is destined to end: not because I want it but because the fact...”

“We need to review treaties to make them reflect our national interest.”

“The national interest is the priority. If not, what's the point in continuing to give money to the E.U.?”

“The economic sanctions against Russia are madness, directed against a neighboring and friendly market.”

“We need a mass cleansing, street by street, piazza by piazza, neighbourhood by neighbourhood.”

“On immigration, the League and Five Star's positions start from notable distances.”

“In my opinion, Islam is an outdated religion. It's not modern. And therefore, there's too much space for violence.”

“Italian ports are no longer at the disposal of traffickers.”

“On principle, I always support the opinion of a population who express themselves through a referendum.”

“Roberto Saviano is the last of my problems.”
