Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi has said he will resign on Monday after voters dismissed his plans for constitutional reform. 60% of the voters said "no" to the reforms, the Guardian informs.
"My experience in government ends here … I did all I could to bring this to victory. If you fight for an idea, you cannot lose," Renzi said.
The outcome energised the anti-immigrant Northern League party, an ally of French far-right leader Marine Le Pen. The party called for an early general election in Italy.
