Quick Glance: Salvini Warns of Macron: 'A Threat to Europe'
  • During a gathering in Rome of far-right European leaders, Italy's deputy prime minister Matteo Salvini accused French President Emmanuel Macron on Saturday, March 23, of endangering Europe by not ruling out the possibility of deploying Western ground troops to Ukraine.

  • The meeting aimed to rally support ahead of the EU parliamentary elections in June.

  • Participants included Portugal's Andre Ventura, Harald Vilimsky of the Freedom Party of Austria, and former US presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. France's far-right leader Marine Le Pen did not attend personally but sent a video message.

  • In his speech, Salvini, a hardline populist, emphasized conservative family values and criticized Macron as a warmonger who talks about war as if there were no current problem.
