In a letter, Viktor Orban expressed his appreciation and gratitude for the work recently done by Matteo Salvini for Italy and the whole of Europe, including Hungary.
Orban wrote to Salvini - the leader of the Italian party Lega, and until today a member of Italy’s government - that "Hungarians will never forget that you were the first Western European leader who sought to stop the influx of illegal migrants into Europe across the Mediterranean".
“Regardless of internal political developments in Italy and the fact that we belong to different European party families, we look upon you as a brother-in-arms in our battles for the preservation of European Christian heritage and the halting of migration. I wish you much success and good health in carrying out your future tasks.”
