Italian Premier Matteo Renzi was
quoted as saying Monday that Italy has to pass a law immediately
on civil unions so that the country can catch up with the rest
of Europe.
"The wound has to be healed, we are at the tail end of the
queue in Europe," Renzi told La Stampa newspaper in an
interview.
Renzi also said he is not bothered at the prospect of an
increase in support for the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement,
which is in power in a handful of towns across Italy.
Renzi added that his concerns are "the country, its
recovery, its re-launch. As far as regards the Five Stars, their
way of governing is the best advertising spot for the Democratic
Party (PD)," Renzi said.
