Italy's League, 5-Star to see president by Monday on govt formation - League chief
ROME (Reuters) - Italy's anti-establishment 5-Star Movement and the far-right League party will meet with the head of state by Monday to update him on their attempts to form a coalition government, League leader Matteo Salvini said on Wednesday.
Speaking to reporters in parliament, Salvini said the policy agenda the two parties have been working on for a week was "almost finished," and he and 5-Star leader Luigi Di Maio would meet with President Sergio Mattarella "even before Monday".
The two pre-election adversaries began negotiating a coalition deal last week, more than two months after an inconclusive March 4 election produced a hung parliament.
