Deputy Premier Luigi Di Maio said
Wednesday that Italy would not bow its head after Christine
Lagarde was named new head of the European Central Bank.
"If they think they can make us bow our head by appointing
Lagarde to the ECB, they're wrong," he said.
"We'll continue along our path".
Di Maio also spoke about the appointment of ex German defence
minister Ursula von der Leyen as new European Commission
president.
"As for the appointment to the top EU jobs of two trusted
allies of Merkel and Macron, I'm not crazy about the fact that
Germany and France have won out yet again and I hope that they
don't become two queens of austerity".
