League leader Matteo Salvini said
"ask Mattarella" on Tuesday when asked about Italy's soaring
bond spread.
He was referring to President Sergio Mattarella, who on
Sunday rejected the nomination of Euroskeptic economist Paolo
Savona as economy minister, which led to the collapse on an
effort to form a League/5-Star Movement (M5S) coalition.
Mattarella mentioned the threat of financial turbulence as he
explained his decision and on Monday asked former spending
review commissioner Carlo Cottarelli to try to form an interim
government.
"If it were for me, there would be a government in office
now," Salvini said.
"They chose differently to reassure the markets but they
don't seem to be achieving that to me".
