MILAN—Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini said Dec. 31 he “did not see any danger” to the government in the coming months as it turns its attention to new reforms after finally pushing its 2019 budget into law.

Parliament approved the much-contested budget Dec. 29, just ahead of a year-end deadline, following a deal with the European Commission that calmed financial markets and averted a risk of financial fines against Rome.
