ROME (Reuters) - Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said he would have “important things to say” at a news conference set for later on Monday, amid squabbles in his ruling coalition and the threat of EU action over Italy’s deteriorating state finances.

Several Italian newspapers said Conte, a former academic, would threaten to resign unless the two coalition parties - the right-wing League and the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement - agreed to settle their differences and get on with governing.

Conte’s spokesman was not available to comment on the newspaper reports.
