“Good evening everyone, I want to announce that tonight I will resign my resignation in the hands of the President of the Republic. Today’s votes in Parliament are very significant from a political point of view. The majority of national unity that has supported this government since its creation is gone. The pact of trust at the basis of government action has failed ”.
Thus began the intervention of the shortly resigned Prime Minister Mario Draghi during the CDM following the meeting with the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella.
Government crisis: Draghi resigns, his arrival at the Quirinale
“In recent days on my part there has been the utmost commitment to continue on the common path, also trying to meet the needs that have been advanced to me by the political forces. As is evident from today’s debate and vote in Parliament, this effort it was not enough – continues Draghi – From my inauguration speech in Parliament I have always said that this executive would only go forward if there was a clear prospect of being able to implement the government program on which the political forces had voted their confidence. compactness was fundamental to face the challenges of these months. These conditions are no longer there “.
Finally Draghi concluded by thanking the ministers for the results achieved “in a very difficult moment, in the interest of all Italians”.
Government, Conte: “We are in favor of the ecological transition, whoever forced them should take responsibility”
Fifteen lines that seemed to close the game. Now the door opens again. Ministerial sources let it be known that Draghi said on the CDM that he will report Wednesday on the crisis to the Senate. That will be the occasion and the venue requested by the head of state for the ‘assessment of the situation’.
Among the hypotheses, also that of a government of purpose that closes the legislature at least bringing home the Budget Law of 2023 with the reforms of the NRP and guaranteeing Italy the funds made available by Europe. The Democratic Party files the wide field with Conte’s M5s (which convenes a new National Council for 8 pm) and hopes that Draghi’s race is not over. “The decisive day will be Wednesday, when Draghi will report to the Senate, not today,” says Minister Franceschini.
The center-right, especially with Lega and Fdi, regroups ahead of the elections by attacking the Five Stars. “We are not afraid of the vote”, Berlusconi had also said, while for the minister of Fi Brunetta ‘Italy cannot do without Draghi’. Markets seem to think so too. The Milan Stock Exchange, the black jersey of Europe, closed at -3.44% and burned 17 billion. The spread has stopped for now its rise to 206.6 points, the yield of the ten-year BTP at 3.34%. Europe looks at Italy ‘with worried amazement’, says Gentiloni. “Total disbelief for political developments” by the president of Confindustria Bonomi.
