Presidenten bekräftar: Nobbade ministerkandidat
Italiens president Sergio Mattarella bekräftade i ett tv-tal på söndagen att han lade in sitt veto mot antietablissemangspartiet Femstjärnerörelsens och främlingsfientliga Legas ekonomiministerkandidat Paolo Savona. Orsaken var att euroskeptikern Savona kunde ha tvingat ut landet ur eurosamarbetet, menade Mattarella enligt Reuters. Savona skulle ha ”skrämt marknader och investerare, italienska och utländska”, sa presidenten enligt AP.
Presidenten sa också att han föreslagit alternativa namn till ekonomiministerposten, men dessa namn ska Femstjärnerörelsen och Lega ha avvisat, skriver Reuters.
Mattarella uppgav att han ännu inte beslutat om nyval ska utlysas, men att ett beslut kommer ”inom kort”, skriver TT.

Politics of Italy is conducted through a parliamentary republic with a multi-party system. Italy has been a democratic republic since 2 June 1946, when the monarchy was abolished by popular referendum and a constituent assembly was elected to draft a constitution, which was promulgated on 1 January 1948.
The executive power is exercised collectively by the Council of Ministers, which is led by the Prime Minister, officially referred to as President of the Council (Presidente del Consiglio). Legislative power is vested primarily in the two houses of Parliament, and secondarily in the Council of Ministers, which can introduce bills and holds the majority in both houses. The Judiciary is independent of the executive and the legislative branches. It is headed by the High Council of the Judiciary, a body presided over by the President, who is the head of state though the position is separate from all branches. The current President is Sergio Mattarella and the current Prime Minister is Paolo Gentiloni.
The Economist Intelligence Unit has rated Italy as "flawed democracy" in 2016.
