The triumph of Matteo Salvini and his anti-migrant League party at the European elections raised questions in Italy Monday over the populist government’s future. The results confirm the reversal of fortunes of the League and its coalition partner, the anti-establishment Five Star Movement (M5S), which pocketed 32.5 percent at the general election but took home just 17 percent on Sunday. “We can expect a week of frenetic negotiations to see how everyone will reposition themselves,” said Giovanni Orsina, politics professor at Rome’s LUISS University.
