Only centre-right and Five-Star Movement can govern - Salvini

The leader of the far-right League party Matteo Salvini on Friday claimed that the centre-right alliance and the populist Five-Star Movement were the only political forces capable of forming a coalition government after last month's inconclusive national election.

"The only possible government that I see as feasible is the centre-right together with Five Star," Salvini said in an interview with Italy's public broadcaster RAI's flagship news channel Tg1.

Italy's president Sergio Mattarella this week held two days of formal talks with Italy's main party leaders which failed to break the political deadlock since the 4 March election results led to a hung parliament.

Both Five Star, as the largest single party after the vote, and the League, the leader of the centre-right coalition which emerged as the biggest group, are laying claim to a first bid to form a government.

Salvini has refused to break with his coalition ally and leader of the conservative Forza Italia party, Silvio Berlusconi, which is a condition posed by Five-Star leader Luigi Di Maio.

Berlusconi has made clear he wanted nothing to do with 5-Star, in response to its own rejection of him due to his tax fraud conviction.

The centre-left Democratic Party, which has governed Italy since 2013, has the seats in parliament to be the kingmaker for a centre-right or a Five-Star government. But after coming in third in the 4 March election with its worst ever result, the leadership has vowed to go into opposition and Salvini has also dismissed such a tie-up.

The complex web of apparently irreconcilable demands have complicated Mattarella's task and his advisers have warned that it could take many weeks to find a solution.

If the political consultations fail, fresh elections loom in a matter of months.
