Mario Draghi has suggested he would reverse his decision to quit as Italy’s prime minister, but only if the country’s fractious political parties ceased their attempts to subvert the government and recommitted to his reform agenda.
In an address to parliament on Wednesday morning, Draghi expressed frustration with the members of his national coalition government, accusing them of trying to undermine the agreed platform even while professing their support.
Draghi said he was willing to remain in power — and prevent Italy from tumbling into early elections — if the constituents of his national unity government agreed to back his reform agenda.
