League leader sees stable Italian government

MILAN (Reuters) – The right-wing alliance that won the national election should give Italy five years of political stability, League leader Matteo Salvini told a news conference on Monday.

Salvini said he would speak to Giorgia Meloni, Italy’s likely next prime minister, later on Monday to start the process of forming a new government.

“I expect that for at least 5 years we will press ahead without any changes, without any twists, prioritising the things we need to do,” Salvini said.

Although part of the winning alliance, the League took only around 9% of the vote, down from more than 17% four years ago.
