ROME (Reuters) - The leader of Italy’s 5-Star Movement on Thursday said a group of senators who broke ranks and rejected Prime Minister Mario Draghi’s government in a parliamentary confidence vote will be expelled from the party.
The decision to support Draghi, a former head of the European Central Bank, has lacerated 5-Star, the largest group in parliament, which was created in 2009 as an anti-system, anti-euro party.
