Italy's Prime Minister Conte plans to resign after the withdrawal of a minority party from the coalition government due to a conflict over the economic measures of the new coronavirus.
It seems that it aims to establish a new coalition government, but it is expected to be difficult.
The Italian Prime Minister's Office announced on the 25th that Prime Minister Conté will hold a cabinet meeting on the 26th and announce his intention to resign.
In the coalition government led by Prime Minister Conté, the minority party Italy Viva has withdrawn from the coalition in a conflict over the recovery of the economy, which was severely hit by the new coronavirus.
Although Prime Minister Conté was approved in a vote of no confidence in both the Senate and the Senate last week, the ruling party's seats supporting the coalition government have not reached a majority in the Senate.
Local media have reported that Prime Minister Conté has decided that it will be difficult to manage the administration as it is, and intends to resign and aim to establish a new coalition government.
In Italy, the number of members of both the House and Senate will be significantly reduced from the next election, so many political parties are reluctant to hold elections with a term of office of two years or more.
Prime Minister Conté is expected to hold no elections to deal with the new coronavirus and urge each party to cooperate in establishing a new coalition government, but talks are expected to be difficult.
