Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini speaks to Senate

Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini speaks to the Senate in Rome, Italy, on Aug. 13, 2019. Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini, leader of the rightwing, anti-immigrant League party, told the Senate on Tuesday that he is willing to vote on a reform that would reduce the number of members of parliament as long as this is followed by an immediate snap election. This appears to postpone an impending government crisis, which Salvini unleashed last week when he announced his party had filed a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte.
