Thousands of hirings by the
culture ministry are at risk because of Italy's government
crisis, Culture Minister Alberto Bonisoli said Friday.
He said staff hirings were threatened to the tune of 3,000 in
October, and another 1,000 in December.
Furthermore, some 10 million euros in investments are
jeopardised, Bonisoli said.
"This is damage to the country, to the culture ministry, to
culture," he said.
The crisis was sparked when League leader Matteo Salvini
pulled the plug on an alliance with the 5-Star Movement after a
dramatic split in votes on a high-speed rail link with France.
The League has filed a no confidence motion in Premier
Giuseppe Conte, expected to be voted on on Tuesday.
