In Pontida, Italy, Matteo Salvini, leader of the Lega party, launched the "Holy Alliance of European Peoples" to counter what he calls the "Islamic invasion.

" This alliance includes right-wing leaders like Hungary's Viktor Orbán and the Netherlands' Geert Wilders.

Salvini criticized the European Union, particularly targeting "eco-terrorists" in Brussels.

Orbán, celebrated by the crowd, threatened to bring migrants to Brussels if Hungary continues to face penalties.

The event highlighted Salvini's shift from opposing centralism in Rome to challenging European bureaucracy.

Despite criticism from Italian opposition leaders, Salvini remains firm on his stance against immigration and in support of regional autonomy.
