Italy’s Prime Minister-designate Mario Draghi it takes time to assemble your government team. He works in a government made up of experts and politicians from all parties represented in parliament except for the far-right Fratelli d Italia (FdI / Hermanos de Italia).
The 73-year-old Draghi he wants to bring about ecological change for his fellow citizens who are generally less interested in environmental issues. His planned government should contain a “super ministry for ecological change.” This stems from the online vote that the Five Star Movement presented to its supporters for government participation. The swearing in could take place on the weekend. This is followed by the vote of confidence in parliament. Italy would have found a way out of the severe internal political crisis in which the country has been trapped since the collapse of the center-left coalition in mid-January.
Members of the Five Star Movement, Italy’s strongest single party, are divided over the prospect of supporting a government of former ECB President Mario Draghi. In an online poll, 59.3 percent of party activists eligible to vote voted to participate in a Draghi cabinet.
The uncompromising Alessandro Di Battista, who had called the activists to vote no, announced his departure from the party.
“For a long time I have not agreed with the resolutions of the higher movement, so I step aside,” wrote Di Battista, one of the founding fathers of Cinque Stelle. Di Battista wrote on Facebook that he couldn’t cope with the fact that his movement is entering into an alliance with arch nemesis Silvio Berlusconi, head of the right-wing conservative Forza Italia. That goes against the nature of the anti-elite party that emerged from the Five Stars.
Draghi’s coalition will span from the right-wing Lega, Matteo Renzi’s Italia Viva, the five-star movement and the Social Democrats (PD) to the left-wing Liberi e Uguali (The Free and Equal / LeU). The ministers of the new government will work with teams. The resigned Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte could join the cabinet as Minister of Foreign Affairs. The right-wing Lega could take over the Ministry of Transport with its top politician Giancarlo Giorgetti. The former president of the Constitutional Court Marta Cartabia is a candidate for Minister of Justice. The director general of the Italian central bank, Daniele Franco, is the Minister of Economy.
