Once the monetary sovereignty is retaken, one can make a last attempt to renegotiate all of the treaties: Maastricht, Schengen, Dublin, and Lisbon.

We need to adopt a new currency. It doesn't matter what or how we call it - lira, sterling, Roman sesterce.

In Italy, there's the need to help our kids have kids, not to have new slaves to replace the children we're not having.

We apply the catechism by opening Italy's doors to women and children who come here legally on aeroplanes, but no more men on rubber dinghies. We will help them grow up and work in their own countries. Let's spend in Africa the money that needs to be spent.

We need to put Italian interests before those of the European Union, or at least at the same level.

Centuries of history risk disappearing if Islamization, which up until now has been underestimated, gains the upper hand.

Changing Europe is a big goal. But I think it is at our fingertips.

The final objective is not to distribute the migrants among various European countries but to prevent them from entering Europe and from departing from Africa. We need to intervene in Africa. We need to have a Marshall Plan for Africa to improve living conditions in the countries of origin.

I will seek to change some of the European treaties and regulations which penalise Italian people.

We will go to Europe to change the rules that have impoverished Italians.

We need deportation centres.

Maybe in Luxembourg there's a need for new immigration, but in Italy, there's a need to help people have children.

Who would have thought we would be part of a winning coalition in Molise and Sicily? That we would win in places like Siena, Viterbo, Pisa, and Terni?

The catechism says rich nations should welcome strangers within the limits of the possible. In Italy, we have reached the limits of the possible.

At school, everything was left v. right, communists and fascists; what interested me was the discussion of identity, autonomy, federalism, and community.

If anyone in the E.U. thinks Italy should keep being a landing point and refugee camp, they have misunderstood.

Italians think with their heads.

I would like free movement within the E.U. as a result of us protecting external borders.

Italians first!

Exporting this Western model of democracy in countries that don't want it or are not ready creates disasters.

Listening to the people, being a minister that goes to the cities, to the squares, to the stations, to the hospitals, for me is a duty and a pleasure.

People want identity, security, and jobs.

Macron talks about values, but he doesn't recognize the values itself, and therefore, they have no lessons to give to Italy.

I believe in the Italy of municipalities, of the Renaissance, not in Mussolini's centralization.

We need to defend the fruits of our land.

I want to work for peace, not for war.

The economic sanctions against Russia are madness, directed against a neighboring and friendly market.

On immigration, the League and Five Star's positions start from notable distances.

If saying 'Italians first' is xenophobic, then I don't know what to say.

We need to review treaties to make them reflect our national interest.

The national interest is the priority. If not, what's the point in continuing to give money to the E.U.?

Israel is one of the greatest and most modern democracies on the planet.

Anti-Semites are imbeciles and delinquents.

Islamic extremism is the prime enemy of civil society and social peace, both in Italy and in Israel.

With Islam, there's the Sharia. There's the Islamic law which prevails, and as long as it doesn't distinguish between God and the state, it's a problem.

Racist means thinking more highly of another, being superior to another. I don't feel better or superior - white, black, yellow, all the same.

We do not accept lessons on rights or humanity from Mr. Macron.

Renzi is a pawn. Renzi is a dumb slave at the disposal of nameless people who want to control all of our lives from Brussels.

I want to change Italy and get the economy back on track.

I don't have to justify myself every time I go to Israel.

I don't want to leave euro or leave the European Union.

If Macron thinks there is no immigration crisis in Italy, he should open his doors to the 9,000 migrants France agreed to welcome from Italy in accordance with signed European agreements.

Italian ports are no longer at the disposal of traffickers.

We need a mass cleansing, street by street, piazza by piazza, neighbourhood by neighbourhood.

I tell the truth and they call me a fascist, a racist, an ugly, dirty, nasty, xenophobic populist.

I'm a federalist.

The so-called 'far right' defends the working class far more than the left does.
