ROME (Reuters) - Matteo Renzi’s Italia Viva party will abstain in a crucial confidence vote in the Italian Senate on Tuesday, party sources said, denying rumours they may vote against Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte’s ruling coalition. An abstention means the government would almost certainly survive the do-or-die vote. A report on the website of Corriere Della Sera daily said the party was considering a “no” vote, despite earlier comments by its former Agriculture Minister Teresa Bellanova saying it would abstain as it did in the Chamber of Deputies on Monday. However, three Italia Viva sources told Reuters the party would indeed abstain. Its position will be expressed officially by Bellanova in the Senate ahead of the vote, with a result due some time after 8 pm (1900 GMT).
