Italy has almost Eurosceptic government

rome - Almost three months after the Italian parliamentary elections, Italy is likely to hear Monday who will be the prime minister of a new coalition cabinet. The leaders of the Protest Party M5S (Five Star Movement) and of the right-wing populist Lega Nord, Luigi di Maio and Matteo Salvini (past 17.30 and 18.00) pass President Sergio Mattarella. According to Italian media, they tell him who will become the leader of their Eurosceptic government coalition.

The coalition is going to throw money because of its plans and also to reduce taxes, also called 'debt coalition' by critics. The two sides no longer want cuts, despite Italy already having a high government debt.

The two internally distributed parties have also reached agreement on a 58-page government program after difficult negotiations. Their implementation would cost more than EUR 100 billion. They finally agreed that an independent figure from outside their own ranks would be prime minister and not Di Maio or Salvini himself. Italian media call the 54-year-old professor and lawyer Giuseppe Conte.
