REUTERS/Max RossiROME - 20 April 2018: The leader of Italy's anti-establishment 5-Star Movement said on Thursday he saw the possibility of forming a coalition with the far-right League, but he reiterated his refusal to work with its electoral allies.Italy held an inconclusive election on March 4 and efforts since then to put together a government have gone nowhere. "Absolutely nothing has changed in the centre-right's position," lower house deputy Renato Brunetta told Reuters. "Forza Italia will not give external support to a League and 5-Star government. On Tuesday the PD's interim leader, Maurizio Martina, said the party wanted to discuss concrete proposals with whoever got a mandate to form a government.If all efforts to break the stalemate fail, Mattarella would have to call new elections, probably in the autumn.
