5-Star & Democratic Party agree program to form new Italy’s govt | |
(about 1 hour later) | |
The anti-establishment Five Star Movement and Democratic Party (PD) unveiled a shared policy program on Tuesday to serve as the basis of Italy’s new coalition government. An expansionary 2020 budget is at the top of their agenda, Reuters reported. | |
The two parties, traditional foes, have agreed to form a new coalition to head of snap elections after the previous administration comprising Five Star and the far-right League collapsed last month. | |
Five Star supporters are holding an online ballot on whether to support the proposed coalition; results are due on Tuesday. With voting just under way, the parties published a 21-point program that would underpin the planned government. | |
Emphasizing social justice, the parties pledged to introduce a minimum salary, avoid a planned VAT sales hike, and boost spending on education, research, and welfare. The program also called for a web tax on multinationals. |
