A bill approving the recreational use of cannabis in Italy filed by government partner the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S) "will never pass", the head of the other partner, the anti-migrant Euroskeptic League, Interior Minister Matteo Salvini. "It will never pass and it's not in the government contract," said Salvini. Two M5S Senators, Matteo Mantero e Lello Ciampolillo, filed private member's bills on the recreational use of the drug. The proposal has raised a hail of protest from the League and the centre-right opposition. (See also: Italian cabinet’s conflicts on cannabis policy)
