Writing on her Twitter page, Marine Le Pen, leader of the French right-wing party National Front, heaped praise on Italy's Lega Party for being at the helm of a center-right coalition after the Italian general election.
"The tremendous progress and the fact that Lega Party of our ally and friend Matteo Salvini heads the [center-right] coalition indicates a new stage in the awakening of the Italian people," she pointed out.
La progression spectaculaire et l'arrivée en tête de la coalition de La Ligue emmenée par notre allié et ami @matteosalvinimi est une nouvelle étape du réveil des peuples!
