5Stars get green light to form new Italian government with center left

Italy's president gave the populist 5Star Movement his blessing Wednesday to form a new government with the center-left Democratic Party

ROME — Italy's president gave the populist 5Star Movement his blessing Wednesday to form a new government with the center-left Democratic Party.

The 5Stars' prior coalition government with the far-right League collapsed earlier this month after League leader Matteo Salvini pulled the plug on their partnership, ultimately leading to Conte's resignation as prime minister. Mattarella held consultations last week and this week to try to decide on a way forward, including whether to call a snap election if no alternative coalition could be formed.

"We told Mattarella we are available to enter a new long-term political alliance with the Democratic Party to continue the mandate 11 million voters gave us last year without running away from our responsibilities," said 5Star leader Luigi Di Maio after a meeting with the president.
