Italian PM Mario Draghi resigns after attempt to salvage coalition fails
The Guardian: Mario Draghi resigns as Italy’s prime minister after an attempt to salvage his broad coalition failed when three key parties snubbed a confidence vote, paving the way for snap elections that could take place as early as late September.
Backed by a groundswell of public support, the former European Central Bank chief had attempted to continue his administration on condition that his alliance “rebuild a pact of trust” that would enable it to work together to overcome huge challenges over the coming months.
Draghi formally handed his resignation to President Sergio Mattarella on Thursday morning and it was accepted.
