EU elections: Marine Le Pen and Matteo Salvini pose for a cosy picture (Image: TWITTER)
Marine Le Pen, leader of the National Front, said she was “ready to win” the May elections after tweeting a photo of herself looking costing up to Italy’s deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini. The display comes after a rally of Europe’s nationalist groups in which Mr Salvini, leader of Italy’s League party, pledged to create a super-alliance with member states to end the European Union “nightmare”. After their meeting, Ms Le Pen tweeted: “In good shape and ready to win the European elections on May 26 with @matteosalvinimi! alongside an emoji of an arm flexing its muscle.
While Mr Salvini posted the same picture on his Twitter account and said they were working to bring “common sense to Europe”.
He tweeted: “This morning in Paris with Marine Le Pen, to talk about work, family and environmental protection, committed to broadening the alliance of those who on May 26 want to change and bring a little common sense to Europe! @MLP_officiel”
Ahead of May’s European Parliament vote, which decides the MEPs for the next five years, new alliances are being formed among Eurosceptics in Brussels.
