The European Union is a top target for their anger, but a rally in Milan was all about plans to get deeper into the E.U. bureaucracy.
By Chico Harlan Chico Harlan Rome bureau chief covering southern Europe and sometimes parts beyond Email Bio Follow May 18 at 3:59 PM MILAN — One by one on Saturday, Europe’s far-right politicians took turns from the podium in a thronged central piazza, describing the threat of Islam and decrying the runaway decadence of the Brussels elites.“We loved it,” said Geert Wilders, the leader of the Dutch Party for Freedom.
Italian Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Matteo Salvini delivers a speech holding a rosary during the rally. There are reasons to be skeptical. Far-right parties from the more prosperous north say the European Union should pare back its budget. But nationalist hotbeds of Poland and Hungary depend disproportionately on funding from Brussels and don’t want it to be curbed.
People in the crowd in Milan said they had barely a clue about the other politicians. They were there to see one man. The stage was decorated with a half-dozen logos of Salvini's party, the League, with no reference to other European parties or flags. In recent months, Salvini traveled to both Poland and Hungary, trying to marshal the right wing forces. Stephen K. Bannon, the former Trump chief strategist, launched his own unite-the-right campaign in Europe — though he was thwarted in some countries by some national electoral laws banning foreign funding.
