| Description | Italy has found one person it can agree on — Mario Draghi. And that’s a problem.
The harmony around Draghi, Italy’s respected banker-turned emergency prime minister, was initially a salve for a pandemic-bruised country. Now, however, that same consensus is imperiling the country’s brief period of political stability.
Next month, Italy must choose a new president, a figure meant to represent national unity who officially appoints the prime minister. The odds-on favorite? Draghi.
But Draghi is still wanted as prime minister. Italy is at a critical moment: Billions in recovery funds are on their way, the pandemic is still circulating and major structural reforms are in the works, as well as planned reforms to EU debt rules in 2022.
That means a lot is hinging on the outcome, with no easy answer. |
