On 22-23 March the Confcommercio Forum was held at the Villa D’Este in Cernobbio, Italy; one of the participants was the country’s Minister of the Interior and Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini. Sputnik spoke to Salvini to find out about his forecast for the upcoming European elections.
"I don't make predictions, I look at numbers. In the previous elections, we [right-wing parties] had 6%. This time it will be more. I'll be satisfied even with a small rise," Salvini told Sputnik.
When asked whether right-wing parties will be able to gain 20%, Salvini responded that he "liked that number".
