De Luca says Italy’s next elections will be held on May 9 and 10
Cateno De Luca, leader of the Sud chiama Nord party, said Italy’s next elections will be held on May 9 and 10.
He said the dates came up at a meeting in Rome attended by people from both the centre-right and centre-left.
De Luca described the gathering as a spiritist séance and did not name who took part.

He also said there would be time to organise the elections before summer, when people may have other plans.
De Luca has recently reached an agreement with the right-wing Brothers of Italy party to join the centre-right for the next elections.
