Still not decided if Savona to be in Italy government: 5-Star source
ROME (Reuters) - Italian Prime Minister-designate Giuseppe Conte is still trying to assemble a cabinet team and has not yet decided whether to include the eurosceptic economist Paola Savona, a source from the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement said on Friday. The eurosceptic League, the other party in the coalition that backs Conte's nascent government, is insisting that Savona, who has called Italy's euro entry a 'historic mistake', should be named economy minister.
