Italian Lower House Speaker Roberto Fico said on Tuesday he had failed in his efforts to mediate between the feuding coalition allies and forge a new coalition, Trend reports citing Reuters.
“At this stage there are still differences between the parties. As a result I have not seen a willingness to form a coalition,” Fico said after meeting Italy’s President Sergio Mattarella.
The small Italia Viva party led by former premier Matteo Renzi, who triggered the crisis, said the talks broke up because of disagreements over on an array of issues including health spending, education and infrastructure projects.
