  • Mario Draghi has been sworn in as the new Prime Minister of Italy on Saturday after forming a national unity government tasked to help the country tackle and recover from the COVID-19 pandemic-induced crisis and economic slump.

    Draghi, a former European Central Bank chief, was appointed officially by Italian President Sergio Mattarella at a ceremony held in the presidential palace in Rome.

    Here's more.

  • Draghi, who became the 30th Prime Minister of the Italian Republic, has won the support of almost every major political party of the country.

    He was reportedly called in by President Mattarella unexpectedly earlier in February after the previous Giuseppe Conte-led coalition collapsed amid the latest COVID-19 wave.

    Notably, Draghi is one of the most highly regarded public officials of Europe.

  • Parliament

  • Draghi will reportedly be presented to the Senate, the upper house of Italy's bicameral Parliament, on Wednesday and to the lower house, the Chamber of Deputies, on Thursday for the necessary votes of confidence for his government.

    Interestingly, the 73-year-old will have a maximum of two years to make a difference in the crisis-hit country as the next parliamentary elections will be held by 2023.

    Also, former Vodafone Group CEO, Vittorio Colao, has been appointed the Innovation and Technology Minister. Further, a former president of Italy's Constitutional Court, Marta Cartabia, has been named the new Italian Justice Minister.
