Rome (Italy), Jan 14 (EFE), (Camera: Álvaro Padilla).- Italy's far-right Thursday urged the government to find an urgent solution to the country's political crisis.SOUNDBITES OF MATTEO SALVINI, NORTHERN LEAGUE LEADER: "It is not possible that Italians do not know whether or not there is a government. I repeat: we are facing a health emergency, schools are closed, also businesses, new taxes are going to be applied and it is not known whether or not we have a government. Let Conte come to Parliament today and resign at the Quirinal. If there is a majority that governs we will do our part and, if there is not a majority, we will return confidence to the citizens as we have requested since last year. As you remember, last year we said that this was a majority that would fight over everything and would go home soon. It has taken a year and they have done nothing." "Either there is a team that governs for two years or, he repeats, let's give the word to Italians."
