Italy’s Democratic Party signaled a return to campaign mode as it charged its rivals, the League and the Five Star Movement, with having prepared a plan to pull the country out of the euro if they had succeeded in forming a government together.
The two parties gambled with the country’s well-being “with a project to take Italy out of the euro zone, and they did it in a ruthless way,” acting PD leader Maurizio Martina wrote on Twitter. League head Matteo Salvini and Five Star chief Luigi Di Maio have both denied any plan to leave the euro.
