Share! :D

Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi resigned Thursday.

“I will tender my resignation to the president of the republic this evening,” Draghi told the cabinet, according to a statement released by his office.

“The national unity coalition that backed this government no longer exists,” he added.

As Mike Drolet reports, the president has not accepted the resignation and has asked Draghi to try and find common ground with the government coalition partners.
