Political turmoil in Italy - Draghi resigns after coalition falls apart | DW News

Italy’s President has accepted the resignation of Prime Minister Mario Draghi after a week-long attempt to unite his crumbling coalition failed. Draghi went to Sergio Mattarella’s office this morning to offer his resignation -- for the second time in a week. The president accepted but asked Draghi to stay on as caretaker until a replacement can be found. Earlier in parliament, Draghi told lawmakers he had tried and failed to gain the necessary support he needed to continue in the job.
