AlanRickman1946 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) Italian PM Draghi's Government collapsed because key coalition allies boycotted a confidence vote, signaling the likelihood of an early election. Draghi's ( independent) government has been among Europe's strongest supporters of Ukraine against Russia collapsed in large part thanks to political leaders who previously had ties with Russian President Vladimir Putin. -Berlusconi has vacationed with Putin and considered him a friend -Salvini opposed EU sanctions against Russia after its 2014 annexation of the Crimean Peninsula -5-Star leader Giuseppe Conte opposed Italian military aid to help Ukraine defend itself against Russia's invasion. 5-Star senators boycotted last week's vote. -Italian Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio accused Conte of giving Putin a gift by "serving Draghi's head on a silver platter." COINCIDENCE? : Italian energy giant ENI reported that Russia's Gazprom was significantly increasing its daily gas deliveries to Italy Thursday, to 36 million cubic meters compared to 21 million cubic https://www.npr.org/2022/07/21/1112670570/italy-prime-minister-mario-draghi-resigns Edited July 21, 2022 by AlanRickman1946 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The7thStranger Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 The government collapses all the time, but this one feels extraordinary nonsensical. Conte just had his Renzi moment and put the whole country in jeopardy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunch of gutless scams without a consistent ideology who were only there for a quick seat and lifetime pension. A party built on luring poor left-leaning people with false promises, if they don't completely disappear after the October elections I swear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
