ROME: Italy's ruling League party filed a no-confidence motion against the prime minister on Friday , a move that the party's populist chief, Matteo Salvini, hopes will trigger snap elections and install him as the nation's new leader.
Salvini said in a statement on Thursday he had told Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, who belongs to neither coalition party, that the alliance with 5-Star had collapsed after barely a year in power and"we should quickly give the choice back to the voters". He said cabinet meetings were dogged by disputes.
"It's a mess basically," said Marta Bonora, a 21-year-old languages student in Milan, saying Salvini's crackdown on immigration meant other problems were being ignored. Tensions came to a head on Wednesday when 5-Star and the League voted against each other in parliament over the future of a project for a high-speed train link with France.
