Tensions are escalating within Italy's political coalition as the Democratic Party (PD) and the Five Star Movement (M5S) face increasing disagreements.

The upcoming regional elections in Liguria have highlighted these divisions, particularly over the inclusion of Matteo Renzi's Italia Viva in the coalition.

While PD seeks to integrate Italia Viva, M5S threatens to run independently if Renzi's influence persists.

This discord is compounded by national issues, such as differing stances on the Rai board appointments and international policies, including arms support to Ukraine.

These ongoing disputes raise questions about the future of the coalition, with both parties struggling to maintain unity amidst growing ideological differences.
