Law professor Gisueppe Conte remains
the premier candidate of Italy's possible new government despite
doubts about his CV, League leader Matteo Salvini and 5-Star
Movement (M5S) leader Luigi Di Maio have said.
"Conte is, and absolutely remains, the premier candidate of
the 5-Star Movement and the League," Di Maio said Wednesday.
Asked if there had been a rethink on Tuesday, Salvini said
"No".
He also reiterated that he would not accept Di Maio taking
over as premier.
Doubts have also reportedly been raised about whether veteran
Euroskeptic economist Paolo Savona is suitable to be the economy
minister of an eventual M5S-Legaue government.
