The first Conte government was the 65th government of the Italian Republic.[1] It was led by Giuseppe Conte, an independent, and it was in office from 1 June 2018 to 5 September 2019.
The cabinet was formed by a coalition between the Five Star Movement and the League, but it also contained some independents proposed by each party (including the Prime Minister). It was referred to as the "government of change" (Italian: governo del cambiamento) after the name of the political agreement signed by the two parties,[2][3] or the "yellow-green government" (governo gialloverde), based on their customary colours,[4] even if the League originally preferred "yellow-blue government" (governo gialloblu), due to its new campaign colour under Salvini's leadership.[5]
The government has often been described as "populist" (the first of that kind in Europe according to several sources)[6][7] and its policies (and more specifically those of the League) have been described by Italian newspapers as "souverainist".[8][9][10][11]
