ITALY’S anti-immigrant Interior Minister Matteo Salvini has effectively forced Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte to resign from office in a scheme aimed at elevating his extremist right-wing League party to power and installing himself in the premier’s office.
Conte, a political independent who has headed a coalition between Salvini’s League and the anti-Establishment Five Star Movement since June 2018, resigned on Tuesday.
In an hour-long speech in the Italian Senate, with Salvini sitting next to him, Conte berated the League leader for undermining the government from within.
