Rome, September 4 (RHC)-- Italy has reached an agreement to form a new government, avoiding snap elections following the disintegration of its right-wing ruling coalition last month. Members of the anti-establishment Five Star Movement have approved a deal to share power with the center-left Democratic Party.
The new government means far-right, anti-immigrant leader Matteo Salvini will lose his powerful role within the government for now. Giuseppe Conte will stay on as prime minister, after initially resigning following Salvini’s attempted power grab. He will seek presidential approval of the deal.
