ROME (AFP) -

Italy's proposed coalition government has promised a mix of far-right, anti-establishment and eurosceptic policies, leaving the international community wondering what the future holds for the eurozone's third largest economy.

Here are answers to five pressing questions as the League and Five Star Movement (M5S) prepare to take charge.

- Could Italy leave the euro? -

Despite outspoken criticism of the European Union from both parties, the final version of the M5S-League government programme does not mention a unilateral exit from the eurozone.

M5S abandoned their idea of a referendum on the euro and while the League has called the currency "a failed economic and social experiment," the party has proposed a series of reforms and an eventual coordinated group exit along with a number of other countries in the long term.

- Who is really in charge? -

M5S hold more clout in the new coalition having won almost 33 percent in March's election, compared to the League's 17 percent -- even if League leader Matteo Salvini claims to represent the 37 percent who voted for his rightwing coalition....

Maybe they’ll start expelling all the dangerous muzzie trash currently infesting their nation. Throw them on boats pointed at the North African coast; if they reach it, fine, if they don’t, that’s fine, too.

FORZA ITALIA!

This is significant. Shows that there are Europeans who are fed up with the crap and are bringing about change. The politicians who sold out to the muzzies need to be very afraid.
May - resign.
Merkel - resign.
Macron - wake up.

......one of the reasons for the Italian deportation coalition’s election success was the horrific murder by a savage Nigerian parasite seeking asylum in Italy.......

Pamela Mastropietro, a teenage Italian girl was chopped up and put in two suitcases by a Nigerian asylum seeker, just few days before the election.

The new government should make it easier for citizens to own guns & use them in self defense.

Do they have the same Muslim problem in Sicily? You know, where a sawed off shotgun would have ended this monster?
