    I think that too many people find La Liga unpalatable. I'm not going to call them fascist because that's an expression used too much but unlike Germans Italians and Austrians never properly dealt with their ww2 history. Elements in La Liga and Freedom Party (Austria) have a bit too romantic view of their past.
    It used to be called Lega Nord. In fact it's still their official name. Their original stance was that the north of Italy should be separate from the south and often referred to the south as 'Africa' and the people who lived there 'subhuman'. Mad that they then stood candidates in the south and got them elected. After whitewashing their name with a very watery whitewash.

    I had brain fart naming them. Beginning of football season probably didn't help. :D

    There is Slovenian minority in Italy around Trieste and they were often preoccupied with opposing Slovenian schools and theatre. Because apparently a nation of 2 million (including minorities and expats) is threatening to Italy. It's mostly complete nonsense that they would involve themselves in but because Berlusconi needed someone to prop him up they had more influence than their policies would deserve.

    How does he "serve" the EU?

    Given that Italy IS THE EU, I guess that that's what you mean?
    Exactly, it's like saying that a governor of Alabama is a US servant. And attributing to it a pejorative meaning.

    Italy is a founding and integral member of the EU. Italy is the EU. And EU is Italy.

    And you have just described how easy it is to get people to vote against their own interests! Rather astonishing that... but happens in the UK and US every day.

    Salvini got egg on his face for his arrogance.
    Under Salvini, all Italian emmigrants should go back to Italy.

    When journalists who have been making a living stoking euroskepticism report on the dampening of such sentiment you can take it to the bank.

    Salvini is happy with the euro, case closed.
