Draghi's government promises some hope for Italy

Tuesday, February 16, 2021

Significance

Except for the far-right Brothers of Italy (FdI), all the main parties are part of the government, thus giving Draghi significant political support as he prepares to tackle Italy's unprecedented health and economic crises.

Impacts

  • A strong recovery could go a long way in reducing Eurosceptic sentiment in Italy.
  • Draghi will have to manage disputes carefully between national and state authorities, who have much control over health policy.
  • Social unrest would put pressure on the Five Star Movement (M5S) and the League to withdraw support for Draghi.
