Italian anger at the European Union continues to remain high as a poll released this week shows four in ten would like their country to leave both the euro currency and the political bloc.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Bidimedia\u00a0poll<\/a>\u00a0showed that while 6.1 per cent said they wanted only to leave the EU and 7.1 per cent said they only wanted to leave the euro, 40 per cent said they back pulling out of both institutions. Meanwhile, 41.7 per cent of Italians prefer to remain in both, Il Giornale<\/em> reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The vast majority of Italians, some 59.9 per cent, said they were against the use of the European Stability Mechanism (ESM), an EU bailout fund that could loan the country money and has been proposed as a way to combat the effects of the Wuhan coronavirus.<\/p>\n

Use of the ESM had also been suggested last December but was heavily rejected<\/a> by populist Italian Senator Matteo Salvini who said it \u201cwould sanction a sale of unbalanced national sovereignty\u201d and claimed that Germany and its banks would be the real beneficiary.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, members of the Five Star Movement, who form the current Italian ruling coalition with the leftist Democratic Party, threatened<\/a> to bring down Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte\u2019s government if the ESM were used.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am saying this clearly: if the government has said yes to the ESM, this majority will no longer have my vote,\u201d Five Star Movement Senator\u00a0Mario Michele Giarrusso said.<\/p>\n

Confidence in Prime Minister Conte is also wavering, with the Bidimedia poll showing 43.9 per cent of Italians have no confidence and 11.8 per cent have little confidence in his leadership.<\/p>\n
