Italian coalition clashes over Russian financing
By EUobserver
The Italian ruling parties, the League and the Five Star Movement (5MS), have clashed over audio tapes showing League talks with Russians on secret funding. The Deputy prime minister and 5MS leader, Luigi di Maio, wants to create a parliamentary investigation committee to look into the financing of "all parties". But League chief Matteo Salvini asked if from now on all private "dinners should be discussed in parliament?".
