By EUobserver
French far-right leader, Marine Le Pen, kicks of a European tour on Monday, meeting Italy's far-right leader Matteo Salvini in Rome. The meeting is the first in a larger tour, where Le Pen aims to meet populist leaders in Europe ahead of May's European Parliament elections. "It [Italy] shows not only that we can implement our policy, but in addition that it is effective," Le Pen told Le Figaro.
