ROME - The leader of Italy’s 5-Star Movement, Luigi Di Maio, said on Wednesday he would seek a confidence vote from party supporters after a bruising defeat in European elections.
“Today, I have the right to know what you think of my actions. I want to hear the voice of the citizens who elected me as political leader a few years back,” Di Maio said. Since Sunday’s vote, Salvini has been behaving as if he were already prime minister, promising swinging tax cuts and calling for a European Union meeting to change the bloc’s budget rules, while Di Maio has come under attack from within 5-Star.
As well as being 5-Star leader and deputy prime minister, thirty-two year-old Di Maio serves as industry minister and labor minister in the government formed last June. “I haven’t stopped working for the last 6 years and I think I have always honored my duties, always making myself accountable to all the movement’s members and activists,” Di Maio said.
