ROME - Italy’s anti-establishment 5-Star Movement said on Sunday the government would fall unless its coalition partner the League agreed to the sacking of a junior minister caught up in a corruption case.
Their growing rivalry triggered an unprecedented spat between the interior and defense ministries as tensions grow over the fate of junior transport minister Armando Siri, who is very close to League leader Matteo Salvini. However, the League, which has surged in the polls over the past year and has easily overtaken 5-Star as Italy’s leading party, has so far refused to back down, saying he has not been charged and not yet had a chance to speak to investigators.
There was no sign of a League retreat. Instead Salvini, who serves as interior minister, looked to shift focus with his ministry saying the defense ministry had wrongly tweeted that the navy had thwarted an attack on an Italian fishing boat.
