Matteo Salvini contested his arrival at the station of Przemysl, a Polish town about ten kilometers from the border with Ukraine.
The mayor of the city Wojciech Bakun first thanked Italy, then showed a T-shirt with Putin's face and, turning to Salvini, said: "I do not receive it, come with me to the border to condemn him".
Even a small group of Italians challenged the Northern League leader shouting: "Buffone".
Salvini replied by saying he was there to bring "aid and peace". "We are not interested in the controversy of the Italian or Polish left, we are here to help those fleeing the war," he said.
As announced in recent days, the Northern League leader headed to the border between Poland and Ukraine with the volunteers of "Ripartiamo onlus", the association that last week transferred 35 people to Italy, including women and children who were in orphanages.
"The objective of the mission: to bring to Italy and provide hospitality to dozens of families currently guests of the reception centers in Polish territory. An ad hoc bus is ready to leave in the next few hours". we read in a note from the Carroccio.
THE AGREEMENT WITH UNITED RUSSIA - From Italy, meanwhile, the Radicals recall the agreement between the League and United Russia, Putin's party, "the only case of a written agreement signed by an Italian party with a foreign party".
Pact made on March 6, 2017 in Moscow and tacitly renewed, declared Massimiliano Iervolino, Igor Boni, secretary and president of Italian Radicals and Giulio Manfredi of the Adelaide Aglietta Radical Association.
"The document speaks of 'equal and confidential partnership between the Russian Federation and the Italian Republic'. Article 1 provides that 'the Parties will consult and exchange information on current issues of the situation in the Russian Federation and the Italian Republic, on bilateral and international relations ... Promote the creation of relations between the deputies of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation and the legislative body of the Italian Republic. 'The Agreement is tacitly renewed every five years unless one of the two the parties 'do not notify the other no later than six months before the expiry of the agreement of their intention to terminate it' ", reads the statement from the Radicals.
"We do not know - they continue - that the League has enforced this clause of the Agreement, which, therefore, was automatically renewed for another five years".
