(ANSA) - Rome, December 18 - 5-Star Movement (M5S) Premier
Candidate Luigi Di Maio said Monday that the anti-establishment
group will work with parties willing to back its programme if it
fails to win the upcoming Italian election with a working
majority in parliament.
"If we obtain 40% in the elections, we will be able to govern
alone," Di Maio told Radio Capital.
"If we don't, on the evening of the elections, we will make a
public appeal to the other political parties that entered
parliament, presenting our programme and our team.
"And we will govern with who is up for it".
The M5S has repeatedly ruled out making compromises with
Italy's traditional parties, which it accuses of being to blame
for corruption and economic decline.
It is set to run alone at the election, without any alliance
partners.
