Giuseppe Conteformer head of government and current leader of the M5E, announced Wednesday night that senators from his party will not attend the confidence votewhich in fact would produce a government crisis, by losing the majority to govern.
The refusal of the M5E is due to the fact that the decree-law proposed by Draghi, with measures to help families and companies facing the inflationalso contains a construction project for a garbage incinerator for Rometo which the anti-system strongly oppose considering them costly, polluting and inefficient.
During the vote last week in the Chamber of Deputiesthe M5E voted confidence in the government but subsequently abstained from voting on the decree-law.
The rules are different in the Senate and therefore they must vote on both the confidence and the decrees.
Is the departure of Mario Draghi anticipated?
For his part, Mario Draghi anticipated on several occasions that without the support of the M5E he will terminate his mandate, despite the fact that the anti-system party, winner of the elections in 2018 with 32% of the votes, is in full decomposition and many of its parliamentarians emigrated to other formations.
Former leader of the M5E and current Minister of Foreign Affairs Luigi Di Maio He even founded his own party, called Together for the Future (IPF), and tries to gain visibility in view of the legislative elections scheduled for early next year in Italy.
A fall of the government would cause early elections and the coming months are going to be complicated due to rising inflation and the pending reforms required for the recovery plan financed by the European Unionwhich granted nearly 200,000 million euros (almost the same figure in dollars).
Draghi, prestigious economist and former president of the European Central Bankwas invited in February 2021 by the President of Italy, Sergio Mattarella, to lead a heterogeneous coalition that brings together almost all the parties represented in parliament.
The only exception is the extreme right party Fratelli d’Italia (Brothers of Italy), who remained in the opposition and is the great favorite in the polls.
It is probable that Mario Draghi, who had to face the vaccination campaign against Covid-19 and the crisis generated by the russian war against ukraine with all its political and economic consequences, have to report the serious situation to President Mattarella and end up submitting his resignation.
As the parliamentary system that governs Italy is complex, it is not excluded that he will obtain a new mandate and be able to govern with another majority.
