Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte delivers a speech at the Italian Senate, in Rome, on August 20, 2019, as the country faces a political crisis. Andreas SOLARO / AFPItalian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said Tuesday he will tender his resignation at the end of a Senate debate on his government prompted by far-right leader Matteo Salvini.
Conte was speaking following a week of the fallout from Salvini’s decision to back out of the alliance on August 8, plunging the eurozone’s third-largest economy into political turmoil. “I heard you calling for ‘full powers’ and invoke the piazzas to support you, which worries me,” Conte said. Ahead of the premier’s speech, protesters unfurled a banner near parliament that read: “Conte, Italy loves you”.
According to opinion polls, the League could form a coalition with the anti-immigration, anti-LGBT Brothers of Italy, and possibly Silvio Berlusconi’s centre-right Forza Italia.
