RETHINKING - JULY 20, 2022 - ITALIAN FRAGILITY

Today – July 20, 2022 – The Wall Street Journal posted a story titled “Italy’s Mario Draghi Likely to Resign Despite Winning Confidence Vote” by Eric Sylvers.

The story starts “Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi will likely resign despite winning a confidence vote in the Senate on Wednesday, putting an end to a national unity government that lasted almost 1½ years. / Mr. Draghi won the vote, but mass abstentions by three large parties indicated he no longer has the support of a majority of Parliament. Mr. Draghi could resign in the coming days after meeting with Italian President Sergio Mattarella. / The vote came after Mr. Draghi made an appeal to senators to back him so he could continue with his reform-minded agenda until the next scheduled national election in the spring.”
