According to his government, Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi will resign. The coalition of “national unity” no longer exists, Draghi said on Thursday. But Italian President Sergio Mattarella has rejected the resignation of the head of government. Mattarella asked Draghi to report to Parliament and assess the situation.
With his resignation, the prime minister should draw the consequences of the behavior of the left-populist Five Star Movement, which did not participate in a confidence vote on Thursday on a package of aid measures. “In recent days I have tried to continue on the common path and have even tried to meet the demands of the political forces on me. As shown by today’s debate and vote in parliament, these efforts have not been enough,” Draghi said at a cabinet meeting on Thursday.
The majority of the national unity that this government has supported since its creation in February 2021 is gone. The trust pact, which forms the basis of government action, has failed, according to Draghi.
Draghi won a confidence vote on Thursday on a package of measures to help families and businesses. However, the Five Star Movement boycotted the vote. The multi-party coalition has been in power since February 2021.
