Italy's transport minister slams League for planning to amend public tenders

Italy's ruling League party is using its planned amendments to the new building code in order to bring down the governing coalition, Transport Minister Danilo Toninelli said on Tuesday. The League wants to suspend rules governing public tenders in the construction industry for two years, to kickstart building activity and stimulate the economy. But its 5-Star Movement coalition partner sees this as a corruption risk. Toninelli is a 5-Star politician.
