Northern League Senator, Paolo Arrigoni, comments on recent news impacting his party.


A week ago in Como, an extremist right-wing group (Veneto Fronte Skinheads) interrupted the meeting of an association called 'Rete Como Senza Frontiere' that works supporting migrants. Northern League leader, Matteo Salvini, commented that Italy's problem is not ten boys with a leaflet but the "thousands of illegal immigrants who beat, steal, rape". On the opposite side, the founder of the party, Umberto Bossi, invited to keep well in mind the anti-fascist values. Northern League Senator, Paolo Arrigoni, gave us his opinion on the matter.
