Three dem MEPs vote pro Russia in Brussels. And what does the Democratic Party say? “Legitimate: we will not sanction them”

More or less 20 percent of the democratic group in the EU cast the same vote as Le Pen. “The resolution was botched” says the group leader Brando Benifei, and then: “We preferred to vote in favour, so as not to tear the European Parliament apart”. However, the three did not convince them

The Democratic Party is the only Italian party in which someone voted on Wednesday against the European Parliament resolution condemning Russia as a terrorist state and aggressor of Ukraine. Three out of fifteen deputies. Basically 20 percent of the democratic group in Brussels. Pietro Bartolo, Andrea Cozzolino and Massimiliano Smeriglio. I am in the company of Marine Le Pen and the German neo-Nazis. Even Salvini’s League condemned Russia. Just Forza Italy. So the question arises spontaneously, as they say: is disciplinary action foreseen in the Democratic Party? Will a committee of arbitrators meet? “I rule it out. Indeed, I think the position of our three deputies is legitimate,” he says Brando Benifeiwho is the leader of the Democratic Party in Europe (and in a few days perhaps he will also be a candidate for the secretariat).
