'Salvini not legitimate far right'

(ANSA) - ROME, JANUARY 16 - "Salvini must take note of being a reference figure of the extreme right groups" and not legitimize them. The president of Ucei Noemi Di Segni said in a forum at ANSA, however stressing that "Salvini's attention to the issue of hatred towards Israel is certainly to be appreciated. They are precise, courageous positions, not shared by other representatives of the Italian right". "There are far-right groups that feed on symbols and characters, looking for the matrix in certain Italian policies - has stressed Di Segni - This is worrying. The invitation to Salvini is that he realize that these groups exist, are strong and cannot be legitimized. And he must take note of being a point of reference for these far-right groups, "he added recalling a trip to Israel together with the League leader two years ago.
