ROME (Reuters) - Italy's far-right League party and its government coalition partner the populist 5-Star Movement denied on Wednesday reports they plan to join forces in the European Parliament after the May vote.

The two rival parties teamed up last year to form a coalition government, and the League has suggested that the two should combine in Strasbourg to leverage the strength of eurosceptic blocs.
