The 5-Star Movement (M5S) said
on its blog on Tuesday that it was determined to bring about
change at the Bank of Italy.
EU officials and Economy Minister Giovanni Tria have spoken
up to defend the independence of the central bank after Deputy
Premiers Luigi Di Maio and Matteo Salvini called for a change at
the helms citing alleged lack of vigilance over Italy's banking
crises.
"All we want, as the 'government of change', is to have a say
on the names of the people at the head of the Bank of Italy and
(stock-market regulator) CONSOB," the blog post read.
"It is allowed by the law and we will do this without being
afraid of affecting some of the powers that be".
"Those who took part on the oversight of recent years, the
biggest failure in oversight in our history, cannot keep their
position as if nothing has happened".
