ROME (Reuters) – It doesn’t matter who Italy’s new prime minister will be but rather what they plan to do and who with, the leader of the centre-right League party Matteo Salvini said on Wednesday when asked about a possible government led by former European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi.
“We have five priorities and we will decide according to those,” Salvini told Italian daily Corriere della Sera in an interview. “As I said, the point is not the name of the person. He has to tell us what he intends to do”.
Italian President Sergio Mattarella looks set to ask Draghi to form a government of national unity to tackle the twin coronavirus and economic crises battering the country.
