The League presented a motion of no
confidence in Premier Giuseppe Conte in the Senate on Friday
after the party's leader, Deputy Premier and Interior Minister
Matteo Salvini, said Thursday that the ruling majority no longer
exists and called for early elections.
The motion said there were "too many noes" within the
government and referred to the opposition of the League's
coalition partner, the 5-Star Movement (M5S), to the TAV
Turin-Lyon high-speed rail link project.
"Too many noes are bad for Italy, which needs to grow and,
therefore, to have new elections soon," the League said.
"Those who waste time, harm the country and are only thinking
about their positions".
