Italy's former PM Renzi says he could be prepared to work with 5-Star movement

- Italy
Former Italian prime minister Matteo Renzi said he could be prepared to work with the 5-Star Movement if he felt it could lead to having a constructive attitude towards Europe. "We ought to try and form a government if it were possible," Renzi told France 2 television, adding that it was important to put aside previous personal attacks upon him made by members of the 5-Star Movement.
Renzi was speaking a day after the resignation of prime minister Giuseppe Conte, following a blistering attack on his own interior minister, Matteo Salvini. Politicians from 5-Star and Renzi's center-left Democratic Party (PD) are openly discussing forming a new coalition which would push Salvini's League party into opposition and give Italy a more centrist, pro-European government.
