Government partners the 5-Star
Movement (M5S) and the League must solve problems including
autonomy, the TAV rail link, alleged Russian funding for the
League and the next budget or else "we won't be able to go
forward", Civil Service Minister Giulia Bongiorno told an ANSA
Forum on Tuesday.
"It's physiological that there should be differences on the
issues that are being discussed because the League and the M5S
are different political forces in their sensibilities," said
former Andreotti defence lawyer Bongiorno, a League appointee.
"I must say that every clash until today has found a
synthesis.
"The novelty of the last few days is that on a series of
measures on the government agenda particularly strident
contrasts are being highlighted.
"Either the problems are solved or there is no way to go
forward, its a decisive moment", she said.
Bongionro went on to rule out a reshuffle, saying "there is
no clash over government posts".
She alsos aid autonomy plans for Lombardy and Veneto did not
mean widening the north-south gap but represented an
"opportunity for the south".
Bongiorno said she did not plan to become an EU commissioner,
that Justice Minister Alfonso Bonafede's reform was not the
League's, that anti-corruption authority ANAC was important but
speed was needed, and she reiterated that it was time to be
"decisive on justice, autonomy and infrastructure worksites".
