Italy's 5-Star Movement elects former PM Conte as leader
By EUobserver
Italy's former prime minister Giuseppe Conte has been officially elected leader of the 5-Star Movement, ending months of uncertainty and division since he was first asked to lead the troubled party in February, Reuters reports. 5-Star is the largest group in Italy's parliament following the 2018 elections when it took 32 percent of the vote. Its support has since ebbed due to infighting and policy U-turns.
