ROME (Sputnik) - Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini on Monday suggested that the European Union would be better off with Rome and Berlin working together as two main hubs of power.

 

"I think that nothing good has come out of the French-German union for Europe. I want to rebuild the Berlin-Rome axis to give EU a new impetus," Salvini told reporters.

He said the European Union was in danger after being governed for decades by the same people.
 
The Italian official also noted that dialogue between Germany and Italy is crucial given "problems in France."
 
Salvini comments come after a step taken by French President Emmanuel Macron last year when he singled out Germany as his partner of choice for intense cooperation on reforming the soon-to-be 27-nation bloc. He has been on the defensive since protests against a rise in fuel taxes sparked weeks of protests at home.

Pretty sure of that?

 

Cause without Germany and France, so many European countries would not be considered "first world" anymore

 

The european union does a great job in balancing every country out.

 

Greece was in a BIG economic crisis just a few years ago, if it weren't for France and Germany helping Greece out, Greece would've crumbled. Greece would've gone BROKE

 

So many of the eastern european countries owe their "first world" status to France and Germany

Okay, so he basically wants Italy to become closer to Germany.

 

And what's the source of this article? Sputnik sounds Russian. EDIT: This is the Wikipedia page of Sputnik News. 

 

NATO has accused Sputnik News of the spreading of propaganda and misinformation.

 

What's your goal in posting this, @VerySappy?

 

Sadly, it's not fake news.

The mention of a "Rome-Berlin axis" brings to mind something else...
