Steven Woolfe praises Giuseppe Conte in European Parliament
During Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte’s future of Europe address to the European Parliament – a monthly feature in the institution’s calendar – Mr Woolfe said the future of the continent lies within Italy’s vision to represent ordinary people across the European Union. During the debate, Mr Woolfe said:
“It gives me great joy to see you here today, Prime Minister of Italy. Mr Conte, the determination of your Government to resist the privileged power axis of Merkel and Macron.
“And indeed to resist the pressures of the European Union elite on show here today who have suggested that your Government is racist, fascist, in the cahoots of Putin, even anti-feminist and anti-European. You deserve applause for that.
“You have inspired democrats across this continent and the world. Your Government has demonstrated that European is not an institution called the European Union. It is indeed a continent of ancient nations, of ancient people.
“Ancient people’s but with modern methods. Sometimes they wear yellow vests and sometimes they vote for Brexit.
“Sometimes, like your Five Star colleagues, they take social media and turn it into political power for the ordinary people. Modern methods for ancient voices.
