ROME (Reuters) - Italy's 5-star leader Luigi Di Maio on Sunday said President Sergio Mattarella should be impeached for betraying the state because of his rejection of a eurosceptic as economy minister.

"We were a few steps away from forming a government, and we were stopped because in our cabinet there was a minister who criticised the EU," Di Maio said in an interview on RAI state television.
