Italian Deputy Prime Minister: We cannot continue to send weapons to Ukraine

Matteo Salvini won the leadership of the League decisively, securing 465 votes against 146 for his opponent. His term will last until 2030. Salvini resigned earlier due to internal disputes and pressure from far-right rivals. He aims to initiate discussions on Italy's support for Ukraine, stating that financial and military aid should be reconsidered. The League currently polls around 5%, facing competition from Roberto Vannacci's new party, which has surpassed it in surveys. Italy's public debt is nearly 140% of GDP, amounting to €3.21 trillion as of June.
