Francesca Donato (born 25 August 1969) is an Italian politician. She was elected as a member of the European Parliament in the 2019 European Parliament election in Italy as a member of the Lega Nord.[3]
On 25 May 2024 the husband of MEP Francesca Donato, Angelo Onorato, was found dead in his car in Palermo. Donato herself claims he was murdered while the police investigation is still ongoing.[4][5]
European Parliament
Donato was part of the group Identity and Democracy at the European Parliament elected in 2019. Due to her position against the EU Digital COVID Certificate in September 2021, she was expelled both from Lega Nord and the Identity and Democracy group, and became an independent politician, as well as the non-inscrit member of the European Parliament.
On 2 March 2022, Donato voted against condemning the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine,[6] along with 12 other MEPs.[7] After sharing news which were identified as fake news, her Facebook page was closed in March 2022.[8]
Donato voted against the European Parliament resolution of 23 November 2022 on recognising the Russian Federation as a state sponsor of terrorism.[9][10]
