The League presented a motion of no confidence in Premier Giuseppe Conte in the Senate on Friday after the party's leader, Deputy Premier and Interior Minister Matteo Salvini, said Thursday that the ruling majority no longer exists and called for early elections.
The motion said there were "too many noes" within the government and referred to the opposition of the League's coalition partner, the 5-Star Movement (M5S), to the TAV Turin-Lyon high-speed rail link project.
"Too many noes are bad for Italy, which needs to grow and, therefore, to have new elections soon," the League said.
"Those who waste time, harm the country and are only thinking about their positions".
