(ANSA) - Rho-Pero, April 20 - League leader Matteo Salvini
said Friday that he was ready to do everything to prevent a
government of non-political technocrats taking power to end the
deadlock after last month's inconclusive general election.
"I have the clear sensation that someone wants to waste time,
they don't want any government so that we'll have a technical
government like that of (ex-premier Mario) Monti, remote
controlled from Brussels to fleece the Italian people," Salvini
said as he visited the Milan furniture fair.
"I'll do everything possible to avoid that con. I'll do
everything possible, including taking the field personally".
5-Star Movement (M5S) Senate Danilo Toninelli, on the other
hand, said Friday that it would be better to have new elections
if it is impossible to reach an agreement for a stable
government after last month's inconclusive vote.
"We are giving our all to give the Italian people a
government that improves their lives," Toninelli said via
Twitter.
"We remain the same as before: intransigent and bound to our
principles, coherence first and foremost.
"We are not interested in a government that scrapes by.
"At that point it is better to have a new election".
