The sudden
downfall of Mario Draghi’s government could clear the way for Italy’s first
far-right government since the second world war, says Rome correspondent Angela
Giuffrida
Mario
Draghi was a popular prime minister with the Italian public, a safe pair of
hands who could steer Italy’s recovery from Covid through to elections next
year. Leaders across Europe saw him as serious, credible, and a strong partner
on the Ukraine crisis. But last week he announced his resignation as his coalition
collapsed.
It was a
moment that shocked Italy and leaders around the EU, Rome correspondent Angela
Giuffrida tells Michael Safi. Now there are fears that September’s election
could usher into power a grouping of far-right political parties for the first
time since the second world war.
