Italy’s Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini is taking his next political battle out to sea after suffering a defeat by government coalition partner Five Star Movement this week.

Salvini, the leader of the League party, submitted a proposal for a legal decree to switch powers over the movement of vessels within the nation’s maritime territory from the transportation ministry to the interior ministry that he heads. The transportation ministry is led by Five Star’s Danilo Toninelli.
