Rome adopts plan for EU aid, straining coalition to breaking point

Rome, Jan. 13, 2021 Italy’s centre-left government is facing an acid test on Wednesday evening in Rome. This is coming after Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte’s Cabinet passed plans to use billions of euros in EU coronavirus aid, a cause of ructions in the fragile ruling coalition. But two ministers from former Prime Minister Matteo Renzi’s splinter party, Italia Viva, did not vote for it, according to reports from the ANSA news agency. Renzi has announced a press conference for Wednesday afternoon. He could announce his party’s withdrawal from the coalition, which he has threatened several times. Non-partisan Conte had circulated his draft for the use of around 210 billion euros ($256 billion) from the EU post-pandemic reconstruction fund internally on Monday.

By leaving the government, Renzi also takes away several key ministers who are also members of Italia Viva, including Minister of Agriculture Teresa Bellanova and Minister of Family and Equal Opportunities Elena Bonetti. Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Conte had met with President Sergio Mattarella and told media that he hoped he could still count on Renzi’s support, saying the government could only work with a majority and that Italians would not accept a new government crisis. Several scenarios could unfold following Renzi’s move, including a snap election, which is believed to be President Mattarella’s prefered scenario, as opposed to a fragile coalition in parliament.
