Deputy Premier and Interior
Minister Matteo Salvini said Monday that he was happy for his
League's coalition with the 5-Star Movement (M5S) at the
national level to continue after Sunday's regional elections in
Basilicata.
The League was the driving force of the centre right's
victory in the southern region while the candidate for the M5S,
which ran alone, came third.
"The sum of the votes for the League and the 5 Stars is still
the absolute majority in this country, so we both have cause to
be happy," Salvini said.
"My opponent is the (centre-left) PD (Democratic Party)".
