FAR-RIGHT leaders have kicked off their European Union election campaigns at a rally in Spain, declaring support for Israel and against immigration.

French National Rally party leader Marine Le Pen and Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni were among those trying to win voters at an event organised by Spain’s Vox party in Madrid on Sunday.
