Ex-premier and former Democratic
Party (PD) leader Matteo Renzi said the attacks on President
Sergio Mattarella following his rejection of the nomination of
Paolo Savona as economy minister were "shameful" on Sunday.
"(League leader Matteo) Salvini did not want to govern: he
made unachievable promises, he is afraid of his lies," Renzi
said via Twitter.
"And so he used the alibi of a minister to cause everything
to collapse - old-style League.
"But threatening #Mattarella is shameful. You don't mess
about with the institutions".
