ROME - The leaders of Italy’s coalition partners the League and 5-Star Movement warned on Thursday the government could collapse following mutual recriminations over the election of the next European Commission president.
Deputy Prime Minister Luigi Di Maio, who heads 5-Star, said the League position risked isolating Italy, while League leader Matteo Salvini accused his partner of betraying ordinary voters after promising to bring radical change to Europe. Di Maio also bemoaned the worsening ties and said the League’s threats to quit the coalition had to stop. “If the League wants to topple the government, then it must say so clearly,” he said in a video posted on Facebook.
“No government is going to fall tomorrow,” he told Rete 4 television. “I am going ahead calmly ... but if I have to hear ‘no’ everyday then it gets difficult,” he said, referring to what he sees as 5-Star foot-dragging on various initiatives.Salvini is facing significant pressure from within his party to pull the plug on the coalition, which was formed in June 2018 after an inconclusive national election.
Past turmoil in the government has immediately fed through to financial markets, with investors nervous that political instability could further damage Italy’s fragile state accounts. But Salvini has also come under pressure in recent days over allegations his party sought illegal funding via an advantageous oil deal from Russia to pay for its successful EU election campaign — a charge he has denied.
