The political turmoil in Italy is now solved, at least in the near term, after a week of roller coaster ride. The anti-establishment 5-Star Movement and eurosceptic League agreed to form a political government again, averting a re-election. Law professor Giuseppe Conte remains the choice as prime minister and will sworn in on Friday. 5-Star and League leaders Luigi Di Maio and Matteo Salvini will be vice premiers.
Eurosceptic economist, 81-year-old Paolo Savona, who’s rejected by President Sergio Mattarella as economy minister, will take the post of EU affairs minister. On the other hand, economics professor Giovanni Tria get the job of economy minister.
Conte said that “we will work hard to reach the objectives included in the government contract and to improve the quality of life of all Italians.” He referred to “Contratto Per Il Governo Del Cambiamento” or “Contract for the Government of Change”.
The new Cabinet will face a confidence vote in both houses were the coalition have a thin majority. But the  far-right Brothers of Italy, a League ally, said it would help by abstaining in that vote.
