The Italian Prime Minister, Mario Draghi has told his Cabinet he will offer his resignation on Thursday evening to the president, following the refusal of a coalition ally to support a government bill.

President Sergio Mattarella must decide to accept or reject the impending resignation of Mario Draghi.

Draghi met later with President Sergio Mattarella on Thursday, 14 July 2022 to decide on the next steps, including a possible offer to resign.

Draghi has repeatedly made it clear that the populists were among the coalition partners that signed up to be part of his government last year and that he wouldn’t continue without them.

The 5-Stars had joined Draghi’s broad coalition of national unity, which included parties both on the right and the left.

Among Draghi’s achievements has been keeping Italy on track with reforms that the EU has made a condition for the country to receive 200 billion euros (dollars) in pandemic recovery assistance.
