Russia and European far right

[Firn]

I don't know the last time an important German politician was so not amused and made it clear on a public stage.

Steimmeiers response to a couple of provocateurs, likely from the far left. The German Linke had even some elements at the Crimean Circus, happily serving the noble cause alongside members of the extreme right and an Italian mafioso.

He has been a force of moderation and almost desperate for diplomancy and then a couple of useful idiots are shouting crude Kremlin-inspired propaganda.


Regarding the article, I think the far-right leaders and members are also enjoying the rare 'international' stage and the diplomatic treatment given to them.

Italy, Matteo Salvini, Northern League Federal Secretary (La Voce Della Russia, December 20, 2013)

People in Italy still know little about Russia, although in my opinion Russia represents the future. In the coming years Russia shall become a unique partner for the League and Northern Italy

Now that sounds indeed like a Lega Nord guy, who has clearly no idea what he is talking about and uses bland phrases. I almost can hear his Italian.
