5-Star and PD agree to re-install Giuseppe Conte as Italy's prime minister as talks refocus on deputy PM role
Talks on a new government slowly progressed as parties agreed to reinstall Giuseppe Conte as prime minister. In this file photo, Interior Minister Matteo Salvini reacts as Conte addresses the upper house of parliament in Rome, Italy. August 20, 2019.
The talks, which remain tense and could still break down, had been at risk of collapse over who should be named prime minister but the PD confirmed on Wednesday that it had dropped its opposition to Conte, removing one big barrier to a deal. Both sides have yet to agree on other top government posts or reveal a common policy agenda, with only hours remaining before an effective Wednesday evening deadline for a deal.
"The problem is that if there is a premier from the 5-Star it is fair that his deputy is from the PD," PD deputy leader Andrea Orlando said on Twitter. Many of its rank and file are hostile to the PD and have used social media to urge Di Maio not to do a deal.
