Italy's hard-line populist interior minister has brought his government to the brink of collapse by calling for an early election that could see the country lurch toward the far-right.

He was criticized earlier this year after skipping celebrations marking Italy's 1945 liberation from the fascist rule of Benito Mussolini, who spent the last two years of World War II overseeing a puppet republic in Nazi-occupied northern Italy.

Italy's Minister of Labor and Industry Luigi Di Maio, Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte and Interior Minister Matteo Salvini give a news conference in Rome last year.Salvini has styled himself as a man-of-the-people who for most of the summer has decamped to the beach. He began the coalition last year with a little more than half the public support of the M5S. But these roles have since flipped, with the LeagueOn Thursday the party said the disagreements with its bedfellow had become too much.

"Italy needs certainties and courageous choices," it added."Every day that passes is a day lost. To us, the only alternative to this government is to call for new elections and let Italians decide." Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, a law professor who belongs to neither party, said on television that Salvini must explain to Italians why he wanted to bring down the government and condemned"the crisis he has unleashed," Reuters reported.

Good. They need to.

You’d think Mussolini would be a lesson in the foibles of fascism.

late winter 2018 Italy saw a mass shooting, traini, who tried to make his way into salvini's party, shot dead migrants, search for salvini's trolls-bot and real people twitting of him like their hero, salvini weeks later recommended to use sun lotion reducing risk to be shot

Mussolini is looking up and smiling as he elbows Hitler in the ribs and tells him “see I told you my people would be the first to regress back to hate”

Good for Italy!

Like the British, these idiots are falling for the same arguments that got Italia them to a Fascist Dictatorial state before WWII and just keep repeating histories worst mistakes. ABC CBSNews CNN FoxNews MSNBC

Better than the far left

He's a neo-fascist xenophobic demagogue and and his party are far-right racist extremists, please let's call them by their real names. None of this 'hard-line populist' nonsense.

Thanks to Steve Bannon. He's been in Europe trying to do what he and Trump are doing to the US.
