The Five Star Movement, which is co-governing in Italy, does not seem to agree with an aid package.
According to their boss Giuseppe Conte, the members of the five-star movement “Cinque Stelle”, which is co-governing in Italy, want to stay away from a vote of confidence in the Senate on Thursday. This puts the current governing coalition in jeopardy. The “Cinque Stelle” are considered an important voice in the government alliance of Prime Minister Mario Draghi.
On Thursday, the Senate will vote on a stimulus package designed to help families and businesses navigate the current energy crisis. This is linked to a vote of confidence.
The 5 Star Movement does not seem to agree with the aid package. The government must do more to combat the growing social problems in Italy, said “Cinque Stelle” boss Conte.
Lega boss also questions government support
The head of the right-wing Lega Matteo Salvini had previously announced that he would no longer support the government if “Cinque Stelle” left the government. According to Salvini, the best solution would be early elections.
