Italy's 5-Star says welcomes PD's openings on Conte, wants to talk

Italy's anti-establishment 5-Star Movement said on Tuesday it welcomed signs from the Democratic Party (PD) that PD was willing to accept a return of Giuseppe Conte as prime minister and it wanted to resume talks to form a government. The parties are negotiating after the collapse of the previous coalition of 5-Star and the hard-right League which triggered Conte's resignation.

"We positively greet the openings from authoritative members of the PD on the future role of Prime Minister Conte. We are ready for a dialogue on policies," 5-Star said in a statement.
