Italian Prime Minister Draghi announced his resignation when the political crisis broke out due to the 5 -star movement not participating in the Government's vote of confidence.
I would like to announce that I will resign tonight to the president, Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi told the internal areas of July 14.
According to him, the necessary conditions to maintain the Government of the Union no longer exist and the Treaty of trust is the foundation of the Government to establish the Government.
Mr. Draghi's decision was made after the 5 -star movement (M5S) refused to participate in the Government's vote of confidence.
Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi spoke at the G7 summit in Germany on June 26.
The ruling coalition of Prime Minister Draghi was established in February 2021 with the participation of the M5S Party, the Federation Party, the Forza Italia Party, the Democratic Party, the Italian Party Viva and the Article One Party.
Former Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, M5S leader, on July 13 threatened to withdraw the M5S from the ruling alliance, in the context of tensions between him and Prime Minister Draghi increasing for several weeks.
After Mr. Conte's statement, the Democratic Party leader and the Federation also threatened to withdraw from the ruling alliance, leaving the government of Prime Minister Draghi at risk of collapse.
A recent group of M5S parliaers pressures the Party leaders, believing that the M5S can attract many voters to support if withdrawal from the government and on the opposition.
Prime Minister Draghi announced that if the M5S withdrew from the ruling alliance, everything would then depend on the decision of President Sergio Mattarella.
Draghi, former chairman of the European Central Bank (ECB), became the Italian Prime Minister in February 2021 with the expectation of bringing the country from the pandemic and rescuing the economy.
The decision of M5S pushed Italy into political instability, the risk of erosion of efforts to find billions of euros aid from the European Union (EU) and could lead to an early general election in the fall.
The ruling alliance and opposition parties called for early elections in case the Prime Minister's government collapsed.
The next Italian general election is scheduled to take place in the spring of 2023 and the organization of voting in the fall of this year will be unusual, according to Guardian.
The 5 -star movement threatened to withdraw from the ruling alliance, causing the Italian government to collapse.
