Speaking to journalists outside the polling station, Salvini, who teamed up with other right-wing forces such as Germany's AfD, Finns Party of Finland and Danish People's Party to create the European Alliance for People and Nations, said: "I am happy because for the first time in the history of European elections, the Italian vote might change Europe's history."
"Until five years ago you already knew the final outcome before voting, but this is the first time that Italians can shift the balance in Europe, change the rules of finance, agriculture, fishing, trade.
