(ANSA) - ROME, APR 30 - League leader Matteo Salvini said as
he presented his new book alongside the rightwing party's newest
and most controversial European election candidate, suspended
anti-gay General Roberto Vannacci, that he liked having an army
general beside him in order to talk about peace.
Vannacci, whose own book slamming gays and other minorities
became a runaway bestseller among conservative Italians, faced
flak earlier this week after apparently calling for separate
school classes for the disabled.
Speaking at the presentation of his book at the Temple of
Hadrian in Rome, Salvini, who has urged negotiations over the
Ukraine war, said "I like to have a general to talk about peace:
one of the central themes of the next five years in Europe will
be war or peace. (ANSA).
