(ANSA) - Rome, February 13 - European Parliament Liberal caucus leader Guy Verhofstadt will be out of a job after the May 26 European elections, Deputy Premier Matteo Salvini said Wednesday, a day after Verhofstadt called Premier Giuseppe Conte a "puppet" in the hands of Salvini and his fellow deputy premier, Luigi Di Maio.
    "After May 26 all these gentlemen will change jobs," said Salvini referring to Verhofstadt and other EP members who criticised the Italian government.
    Salvini went on: "in the Strasbourg assembly bumpkins and boors insulted a country, a far cry from Liberals".
    On Tuesday Salvini said Verhofstadt's jibe was "disgraceful".
