Watch: Mario Draghi receives applause from lawmakers as he steps down after a week of turmoil
On the surface not much will change, but parliament has been dissolved, halting progress towards a budget for 2023 and much needed reforms.The odds are currently on a right-wing government taking power, possibly led by Giorgia Meloni, whose far-right Brothers of Italy party was not part of the Draghi coalition.Mr Draghi stabilised Italy's government and secured the trust of the EU as Rome looked to recover from the Covid pandemic.
"A fully fledged government is much better, I don't deny, but many things will be able to run," says Prof Giovanni Orsina, head of the school of government at Luiss University in Rome.Fratelli d'ItaliaImage source,With opinion polls putting FdI in the lead with 22-23% of the vote, her party with neo-fascist roots is in a strong position to head Italy's next government, along with the far-right League and centre-right Forza Italia.
Mario Draghi has been a strong supporter of Ukraine, playing a key role in the G7 and Nato as well as the EU. A lurch to the right could change that. Italy is no stranger to political crisis: its next government will be its 70th since World War Two. But the political map is changing fast. Leila Simona Talani believes the right-wing parties may struggle to form a majority, whereas a broader group of the centre, left and some of the centre right might succeed instead.Italy is the biggest recipient of the EU's Covid recovery fund with €191bn in grants and loans. But the money is tied to dozens of reforms, so there are concerns that Italians may lose out on the next instalment.
