“The new Italian government will give Germany every excuse not to do what Macron would like and it will destabilize the markets,” said Charles Grant, director of the Centre for European Reform, a research institution. “It will increase the risk of another eurozone banking crisis, not reduce it.”...Promises made during the campaign to deport up to 500,000 migrants could also bring Italy into sharp conflict with Brussels, Mr. Grant said. “Deportation of that size would be impossible without violating due process,” he said.
