Foreign Minister says it is “very difficult” for the Italian government to move forward
The ensuing political instability does not only affect the country. It also weakens Italy’s international position at a time of great tension due to the invasion of Ukraine at the behest of Vladimir Putin, who has encountered a fervent slanderer in the figure of Mario Draghi. Foreign Minister Luigi di Maio openly acknowledged this Friday when he confessed that “his heart cries” as he watched “the weakening of one of the most powerful democracies in the world, Italy”, the vice president of the Russian Security Council , Dmitry Medvedev.
Di Maio assured that they are “toasting in Moscow” to the crisis of the executive power in Rome and considered it “very difficult” that the cabinet led by Draghi will be able to continue for the past year and a half. “Italy is at risk of being without a government and heading for snap elections,” the head of Italian diplomacy said. For NATO and for the western front that supports Ukraine, a possible departure of Draghi is not good news.
This political crisis weakens him and casts doubt on the maintenance of Italian military aid to Kiev, much criticized by the leader of the Five Star Movement (M5E), Giuseppe Conte, who demanded a more neutral position from Draghi. European concern about what happened in Rome was clearly expressed by Manfred Weber, chairman of the Group of the European People’s Party in the European Parliament: «Europe needs a stable government in Rome. The extremists of the M5E have made an irresponsible and incomprehensible decision.
