Lupi: “Von der Leyen's candidacy is excellent news”
«The candidacy of Ursula Von de Leyen, who has done a great job, for a new mandate at the helm of the Commission is excellent news for Italy. At the next European elections we will work to strengthen the EPP family in Italy and weld an axis in Europe between the popular, the conservatives and the liberals. The EPP has been and will continue to be the pivot of the majority and the next five years will be fundamental to reform and strengthen the Union and respond to the offensive of the far right populists who would like to destroy it, with very dangerous effects on national states and the international scenario”. This was stated by the president of Noi Moderati Maurizio Lupi.
