According to the Italian politician, the Brussels elite essentially outwitted and ignored the will of European citizens.

Matteo Salvini, leader of the Italian right-wing League party, criticized the distribution of top European positions on Friday. According to the Italian politician, the citizens demanded change in the European Parliament elections, but the European bureaucrats once again confirmed the former elite, including the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen.

According to Salvini, this essentially committed a European coup d'état and democracy requires that they react to this with all possible means

- wrote the Magyar Nemzet .

European bureaucrats have reaffirmed Ursula von der Leyen, in a team with the left and the socialists who have done so much damage in the last five years

added the right-wing politician.

Salvini further emphasized that, as a member of the Identity and Democracy (ID) faction in the European Parliament, the League is currently working on a large alternative faction that will "bring to the palaces of Brussels the will to change that millions of Europeans voted for."
