LAMEZIA TERME, Italy: Matteo Salvini, who has plunged Italy into turmoil by pulling out of a coalition government, could eventually take the country out of the EU, a former prime minister warned on Sunday .
Both the League and M5S campaigned in the 2018 elections on anti-EU platform, but have since stepped back from demands to exit the eurozone single currency bloc. "The political chaos in Italy is complete and it's linked to the failure of this government majority," said Letta -- the former head of the centre-left Democratic Party -- in an impromptu interview at Lamezia Terme airport in southern Italy.
Letta called Salvini a"big opportunist" whose path was"not only sovereignist and racist," but whose"anti-migrant, anti-integration" ideas were becoming more widely accepted.
