(ANSA) - Rome, February 2 - Rightwing populist Northern
League leader Matteo Salvini on Thursday called for Industry
Minister Carlo Calenda to quit for saying that the Italian
economy was "at risk" if there are general elections in June.
"They're trying again, with threats," Salvini said. "The friend
of the heads of (industrial employers' group) Confindustria, the
executor of Brussels orders, Mr Calenda, says Italy is at risk
if there are elections in June...fear of losing his job? And
while he talks, unemployment, debt and poverty grow".
