Prime Minister Mario Draghi resigned from his post on Thursday following political instability in Italy. Dragi submitted his resignation to President Sergio Mattarella during a morning meeting at the Quirinale Palace. He resigned from the post after key coalition partners did not participate in the trust vote. His resignation has raised the prospect of an early election in the country and a new period of uncertainty for Italy and Europe at a crucial time.


President Mattarella's office said the president had "taken cognizance" of the resignation and asked the draconian government to act as a caretaker government. The draconian government fell apart on Thursday after his coalition partners of right-wing, left and populist parties rejected the prime minister's appeal to let the legislature complete its term and come together for an EU-funded program to combat the pandemic. .


Why did the crisis come on the Dragi government?

In fact, it was said in the Five Star Movement that Prime Minister Mario Draghi is not paying attention to the issue of inflation and he has failed to reduce inflation. After this his party had decided to join the confidence motion. At the same time, other allies had also said that if the Five Star Movement does not participate in the voting, then they will also be out of the alliance. It is known that the term of the current government in Italy was to end in 2023. But now the President can announce the election ahead of time at any time.


Let us tell you that there was a discussion last week that Mario Draghi has resigned from his post. But the President rejected it. Mario has also previously been the President of the European Central Bank. According to the AP report, industrialists, mayors and common people had written letters to Dragi demanding his continuation in the post since the speculations started.


According to the AP, in the last 15 months after battling Corona, Prime Minister Dragi tried to bring stability in Italy. In many ways he was also successful. At the same time, the role of Dragi is also important during the war between Russia and Ukraine. He had a big role in imposing sanctions on behalf of the European Union.
