The leaders of Poland and Italy have held talks about creating a European alliance to press for substantial reforms in the EU. Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini, who is in Poland to discuss the proposal with the country's leaders, has called for a "European Spring", which aims to weaken France and Germany's perceived dominance of European politics. The move, which comes before the European Parliament elections in Wednesday, follows disputes between Italy and Brussels over a range of issues, including immigration and spending plans.
