The centre-left Democratic Party
warned their alliance partners in ex-premier Matteo Renzi's
Italia Viva (IV) group that its rebellions against the
government it is supporting cannot go on much longer.
On Wednesday IV again sided with opposition parties in a vote
in a parliamentary committee on changes to the statute of
limitations - an issue that has caused major turmoil within the
ruling coalition - after several similar rebellions last week.
PD lawmaker Michele Bordo described this as an "umpteenth
provocation".
"This daily guerrilla warfare by Renzi has become intolerable
because it undermines the foundations of the government," Bordo
added.
"It's really difficult to keep going in this way.
"IV must clarify its position at once because you cannot be
in the opposition and in government.
"We won't stand it much longer.
"Renzi should assume his responsibilities with respect to the
nation if he has decided to help (League leader Matteo) Salvini
and the right return to power".
