Prime Minister Mario Draghi confirmed his irrevocable resignation

In a stormy political climate Due to the coup d’etat of the right-wing national unity government coalition, which lasted 17 months, the Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi phe submitted his irrevocable resignation this morning to the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella.

The most probable consequence is that Mattarella dissolves the Chambers and convenes anticipate general elections from 25 September to 2 October. Furthermore, he will ask Draghi to continue to lead a government with reduced powers to date.

Mario Draghi presented himself this morning to the Chamber of Deputies convened for the vote of confidence, after the day of extreme confusion that took place yesterday in the Senate.

It is paradoxical that Draghi has never received a vote of no confidence, but since yesterday after the “crazy” day in the Senate, his destiny I was lying.

Draghi resigned a week ago after the populist Five Star Movement refused to vote for him, arguing that the prime minister had not responded to their demands on nine points, on various social issues.

Yesterday, Wednesday, what Draghi did not expect is that the two right-wing parties that are part of his coalition they will refuse to trust you and they asked for a new model of government, always chaired by the Prime Minister, but which excluded several ministers in office, from the progressive area and with a new program.

The crisis thus opened in the midst of one of the greatest riots that can be remembered in the 70 years of life of the republican parliament.

Only 95 senators voted yes to the vote of confidence. Three large parties refused to participate in the vote.

This morning Draghi presented himself in front of the Chamber of Deputies, which welcomed him with cheers and applause from the majority of parliamentarians.

Excited, Draghi responded with a joke. He said that “central bankers sometimes use their hearts”, continuing the joke he made at a dinner with foreign correspondents in which he said that a man who needed a heart transplant, between that of a young and an old banker, has chosen the latter: because the heart does not use it.

He then said that he would go to the Quirinal Palace to report his “determination” to the head of state. After his resignation before Mattarella, he returned to the House and denounced his irrevocable decision.
