ROME - Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini said on Friday he would meet coalition partner and leader of the 5-Star Movement Luigi Di Maio amid speculation that the increasingly unwieldy government might collapse.
Many League politicians have urged Salvini to quit the year-old coalition and seek early elections, complaining that they can no longer work with the anti-establishment 5-Star, which is holding up a handful of projects close to their heart. “It is nothing personal. Luigi Di Maio is a correct and respectable person, but the ‘no’s’ and the daily block on work and reforms by 5-Stars is unacceptable,” he added.
The same source said there was no meeting scheduled between Salvini and the president and that the interior minister had not let the head of state know whether he wanted a snap election. The bill must be approved by the middle of August and if the government is swept away, it would fall by the wayside.
