This is why Salvini, leader of Italy’s far-right party League, who is also the deputy prime minister and interior minister in his country’s coalition government, is hosting a meeting of the far-right parties in Milan. It is uncertain whether the leaders of the other far-right parties in Europe have a positive view of Salvini. More precisely the Austrian vice-Chancellor and leader of the far-right Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ), Heinz-Christian Strache, provoked a mini Italo-Austrian diplomatic crisis. Poland and Hungary represent an ambitious target for the Italian far-right leader. While it accepts far-right rhetoric, PiS is not a far-right party.
