Draghi appointed to lead the recovery in Italy following the Corona epidemic

Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi has submitted his resignation following the populist Five Star Movement, a partner in the ruling coalition, withdrew its support in a confidence vote.

Draghi, the former head of the European Central Bank, has led a government of national unity since February 2021.

He said in a statement that the confidence agreement that supported the national unity government is over.

However, the Italian president refused to accept his resignation.
