Abstract
After exploring the sound constitutional basis of Italian membership to the EU, the chapter analyses if and to what extent the Eurosceptic platforms of the League and of the Five Stars Movement winning the 2018 elections can affect the longstanding cooperative attitude of the Italian Government towards the EU. The article, after analyzing some case studies such as the approval of the 2019 budget under the shadow of an infringement procedure against Italy and reflecting upon the Italian institutional balance between the executive and the legislative power, argues that the friendly relationship between Italy and the EU was secured by the “impartial” role of President Conte who tempered the Eurosceptic wave.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
