(ANSA) - Genoa, September 23 - League leader Matteo Salvini
on Monday blasted President Sergio Mattarella for having
facilitated the formation of Premier Giuseppe Conte's new 5-Star
Movement (M5S)-Democratic Party (PD) government after the former
interior minister pulled the plug on Conte's first government
last month.
"I am sorry that the president supported this sad, squalid
game of the palace (of power)," Salvini said at the Genoa Boat
Show.
"This government is a joke and, with all respect, I wonder
why the president allowed all this.
"They have had, or are having, elections in Austria, Poland,
Spain and Great Britain.
"Everywhere but Italy because, otherwise, the League will
win".
