Liguria votes against anti-Russian sanctions

Earlier, a similar resolution was already adopted by the Italian region of Veneto Parliament, where Lega Nord has a particularly strong position. Next week a vote in Lombardy is expected.
From the point of view of the interests of Northern Italy, whose businesses, before the sanctions, were in a close relationship with Russia, the anti-Russian sanctions and quarrel with Russia over Crimea have brought only losses and hurt the region's economy. Since the North is the economic heart of Italy, the impact of sanctions on the state of the whole of the Italian economy is negative. The purpose of the action in the North regions is to force Rome to hear the opinion of the North and to abandon the policy of infringement of its national interests because of the political ambitions of Washington and Brussels.
