Europe's far-right leaders launch campaigns for EU elections
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.
The EU’s parliamentary elections will take place between June 6 and 9, with analysts warning that the vote across the bloc’s 27 nations could see a strong rise of the far right.
