On 1 June 2018 Giuseppe Conte swore as president of the Council of Ministers in a Five Star–League cabinet. Matteo Salvini became interior minister and deputy prime minister.

Context

He was an independent jurist sworn in after the 4 March 2018 election. Salvini is now live. Luigi Di Maio was the other deputy PM; he is neighbouring and not minted here.

1 June 2018 oath. Stored as one 1 June 2018 Fact. Keep Conte sworn president of the Council with Salvini as interior minister on 2018-06-01 separate from neighbouring 1 June 2018 oath, 4 October 2018 d.l. 113, 6 August 2021 M5S presidency, and 30 October 2025 Nordio fourth reading.

The M5S president who was president of the Council can swear a cabinet, co-propose a decree-law, and bind a parliamentary group. He does not sit as the Senate’s vote counter on 30 October 2025, as the Constitutional Court, or as Carlo Nordio. A 2018 gazette is not authorship of every later Superbonus coefficient. Sharing a 2018 cabinet with Matteo Salvini is not a reason to drop 4 October 2018.

Why it matters

The path is the owned M5S-opposition driver: a completed League-coalition premiership that produced the 2018 security gazette.

What the sources establish

Reuters carries the official instrument or communique. Gazzetta Ufficiale della Repubblica Italiana records the same dated act independently.

Established: He swore as prime minister on 1 June 2018. Salvini was interior minister.

Not established: A unique later Superbonus integer as size, or authorship of every later Interior circular.

Sharing the cabinet with Salvini is not a reason to drop 1 June 2018.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Conte sworn president of the Council with Salvini as interior minister, not a later speech about Conte sworn president of the Council with Salvini as interior minister.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He accepted the premiership. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
