Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte has announced his resignation, Politico has reported.

His actions come ahead of a confidence vote which was expected to take place next week, called for by Interior Minister Matteo Salvini.

This paves the way for Salvini’s desired early election, but will not automatically trigger it. The way forward is to be determined by President Sergio Mattarella.
