Italy to swear in first populist government

By Mike Tyler

June 1, 2018 - Italy’s populists have put an end to three months of political gridlock and formed a government, staving off the threat of new elections that could have become a referendum on the euro.

The anti-establishment Five Star Movement and right-wing League are to swear in their Cabinet later Friday, after reaching agreement with Italy’s president to drop a eurosceptic economy minister and give birth to western Europe’s first populist government.
