Italian Senator Gianluigi Paragone has launched a campaign to take his country out of the "Germanic" European Union.
Paragone, who was first elected in 2018, was expelled from the ruling Five Star Movement Party in January after opposing the government in a confidence vote on the budget. His new party will be called the "No Europe For Italy" group.
Paragone said: “I say ‘no’ to this Europe and I start afresh with Italy, because I want to start from the sovereignty of a state which has all the cards it needs to play all the markets.”
He claimed only ditching the euro and quitting the EU would trigger a genuine economic recovery in the wake of the pandemic.
Paragone is said to have been influenced to by form the party by British UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage.
