(ANSA) - Milan, August 20 - The 5-Star Movement (M5S) and the
League tried to unite Italy but the country is split, the head
of bourse regulator CONSOB, Paolo Savona, said Tuesday.
"The League and the 5 Stars tried to unite the two sides of
the country: that which asks for assistance and that which
produces more, but then the two side started to split up, the
system broke up on these elements," he said.
Savona said the country did not need new leaders but rather
"to wholly reprogramme the State budget and move from a
government contract to a social contract".
The former EU affairs minister was speaking at the annual
meeting of the influential Catholic group Communion and
Liberation (CL).
