Government in place by Monday, says Renzi
Print Edition
Italian Prime Minister-designate Matteo Renzi said he expected his new government to be in place in time for a formal vote of confidence in parliament on Monday, after he wrapped up consultations with the main political parties.
“I’m convinced that the conditions are in place to do good work,” Renzi said yesterday after completing talks with parliamentary groups.
He said he expected to give President Giorgio Napolitano his formal acceptance of the mandate to form a government on Saturday, when he is likely to present his Cabinet.
Renzi, who met Bank of Italy governor Ignazio Visco after his meetings with the parties, said he would spend today working on a policy document and continue to work on naming ministers.
He declined to answer questions about the possible identity of his Cabinet following speculation that he was having trouble filling key posts, including the vital economy ministry portfolio.
A source close to Renzi said that contacts were continuing with both Napolitano’s office and the European Central Bank to ensure that a person capable of representing the government to Italy’s European partners was selected.
“We need a high-profile figure. Whether it’s a politician is not the main issue,” the source said.
Renzi was given a mandate to form a government after his centre-left Democratic Party forced his rival Enrico Letta to resign as prime minister last week following heavy criticism over the slow pace of economic reform.
He has promised a radical policy program.
