TEHRAN, Mar 06 -Italy’s ruling coalition is not at risk of falling apart over a controversial Italy-France high-speed rail link that is causing tensions within the populist coalition, Deputy Prime Minister Luigi Di Maio said on Wednesday.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) -The project, known as TAV and meant to connect the cities of Turin and Lyon, has been delayed for months because Italy’s ruling 5-Star Movement opposes it while coalition partner the League is in favor.
The government is expected to take a decision by Friday.
“Who is hoping the government will fall apart on this issue is wrong. We will find a solution,” Di Maio, who is also leader of the 5-Star, said in a interview with Radio Rtl 102.5.
