(ANSA) - Rome, November 15 - Labour and Industry Minister
Luigi Di Maio and Interior Minister Matteo Salvini, the two
leaders of Italy's ruling populist coalition, on Thursday
clashed over Salvini's vow to install a waste incinerator for
household rubbish in every province in the southern region of
Campania.
Anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5s) Di Maio said
anti-migrant Euroskeptic League leader Salvini's pledge was not
relevant in Campania because the toxic waste fire disaster there
was linked to industrial refuse and not domestic waste.
"So incinerators don't come into it one blooming bit and
among other things they're not in the government contract"
between the two parties, Di Maio said.
Salvini retorted that if incinerators were not built then the
local Camorra mafia would continue to manage waste treatment in
and around Naples.
Di Maio shot back that "the Camorra invested in
incinerators".
The two leaders are both deputy premiers in Premier Giuseppe
Conte's executive.
