“Above all Italians ask for it”

The still Italian Prime Minister, mario draghihas demanded this Wednesday unity around his government coalition to continue in office after the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, rejected his resignation last week.

That is why Draghi has urged Parliament to “rebuild” his coalition of national unity, after the crisis caused by his partner 5 Star Movement (M5S).

“The only way, if we want to continue together, is to rebuild this pact from the beginning, with courage, altruism and credibility.. The Italians ask for it above all “, Draghi summoned before the Senate, where he reviewed the achievements of these 17 months of Government, as collected Eph.

And he also underlined the challenges it faces: the war in Ukraine, social inequality and rising prices are some of them. That is why he has asked for support from the rest of the political formations, to give stability to the country and lead it normally until the next general elections, scheduled for the first half of 2023.

“Are the political parties and you, ladies and gentlemen, prepared to rebuild this pact?” Drgahi asked in a speech addressed to the Upper House in which he was inflexible.

The crisis broke out last Thursdaywhen one of the partners in his coalition, the 5 Star Movement (M5S), did not vote on a confidence motion for his own government, distancing himself from the rest of his partners, which forced Draghi to present his resignation, rejected by the head of the State, Sergio Mattarella.

After Draghi’s intervention, the senators will debate for several hours and the result of the vote is scheduled to be announced at 7:30 p.m. In addition, it is planned that next Thursday there will be a debate on the future of the Government in the Lower House of the Italian Parliament, as reported by Reuters.
