Italian President Sergio Mattarella sworn in for a second term
Euronews says Italian President Sergio Mattarella has been sworn into office to serve a second seven-year term.
The 80-year-old agreed to remain as head of state after Italian political parties failed to agree on a successor.
Mattarella received 55 rounds of applause from parliament on Thursday, as he spoke about his sense of responsibility during the COVID-19 pandemic and Italy’s struggling economy.
“The parliament and regional representatives made their decision,” Mattarella said. “For me, it is a new, unexpected call to responsibility that I cannot and don’t expect to escape.”
