MILAN, Italy: Far-right leaders from Europe gather in Milan on Saturday for a rally against irregular immigration and Brussels bureaucracy, the first since the electoral defeat of nationalist Viktor Orban in Hungary.
The Patriots for Europe party, the third-largest bloc in the European Parliament, has called on its supporters to meet at 1300 GMT in front of Milan´s Duomo cathedral.
Organiser Matteo Salvini, leader of Italy´s nationalist League party, has deemed that “symbol of Christianity” ideal for the event billed as “Without Fear -- in Europe Masters in our Own Home!”
France´s Jordan Bardella and the Netherlands´ Geert Wilders have confirmed their attendance following invitations by Salvini, who is also deputy prime minister in the coalition government of Giorgia Meloni.
