The political parties engaged in
difficult government-formation talks in Italy "are heterogeneous
and paradoxical forces that could unite over a project", French
President Emmanuel Macron said on Thursday in reference to
anti-establishment Five-Star Movement and right-wing League.
"I don't know what the positions of the new government will
be," he continued.
"There is an element of uncertainty in this state, but I am
also confident because President Mattarella has said that the
government must work with the EU" and this "will be one of the
criteria for the formation of the government", Macron concluded.
M5S leader Luigi Di Maio said Thursday he expected the
government contract - a policy blueprint between the two parties
- to be wrapped up by the evening.
He and League leader Matteo Salvini still need to agree on a
name to put forward for the premiership.
