Foreign Minister and 5-Star
Movement (M5S) leader Luigi Di Maio on Tuesday said it was
"unacceptable" that ex-defense minister and fellow M5S member
Elisabetta Trenta was still living in the apartment allocated to
her when she was serving in the previous government.
"This thing, from my point of view, is unacceptable", Di Maio
told Rtl radio.
"She stopped being a minister two months ago, she had time to
leave the home".
The case was first raised by Milan daily Corriere della Sera.
Trenta, who served as minister under the first Giuseppe Conte
government, has said she has the right to remain in the
apartment in downtown Rome because it was reassigned to her
husband who serves in the military.
The M5S is the government partner of the centre-left
Democratic Party (PD).
In the first Conte administration, it was the partner fo the
anti-migrant Euroskeptic League party.
