The centre-right Alternative
Popolare (AP) group backing Italy's left-right government on
Monday asked to see Premier Paolo Gentiloni over what it said
was a "leftwing drift" shown by the government. AP whips said
the party was "seriously worried" about issues including
"vouchers, the budget, the reform of legitimate defence, and the
role of public-service television". AP is the junior partner in
the ruling alliance. Its senior partner is Gentiloni's
centre-left Democratic Party (PD).
