Italy’s Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte to Resign.
Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte announced his resignation in an hour-long speech to the Italian Senate.
Conte was named prime minister in 2018, after the creation of a coalition by the nationalist League and
Five Star Movement.
His speech attacked coalition partner and Interior Minister Matteo Salvini, stating his call for an early election is "irresponsible.".
It is irresponsible to initiate a government crisis. It shows personal and party interests, Giuseppe Conte, via speech to Italian Senate.
The resignation may lead to early elections or the formation of a new governing coalition
