Premier Giuseppe Conte said
Friday that he does not fear any more defections from parties
supporting his coalition government after three Senators left
the 5-Star Movement (M5S) to join Matteo Salvini's right-wing
League.
"Absolutely not," Conte told reporters in Brussels when asked
if he expected more defections.
"Those who want to work have the chance to do so until (the
end of the parliamentary term) in 2023.
"It can occur that some parliamentarians feel neglected.
"I say to everyone that we are only at the start of the job.
"We have a significant period of time and reforms to do.
"Those who want to work to improve the country should do so
now, here with us".
