ITALY: The endless crisis of government

The President of the Italian Council of Ministers: Giuseppe Conte

These are days of uncertainty for the Italian government. After the vote of confidence in the chamber and then in the senate, in which the governing parties have managed to snatch only a majority relative to the senate, days of uncertainty lie ahead. There have already been some consultations between dissident parties, but what lies ahead is certainly not rosy. In a moment of pandemic, the government crisis means a stalemate in the political machine that could paralyze the country in the midst of the third wave, which has not yet begun.
