Mario Draghi can take Italy out of
uncertainty, centre-left Democratic Party (PD) leader Nicola
Zingaretti said after the ex-ECB chief to a government-formation
mandate Wednesday.
"Draghi is a personality of great prestige, a strength and a
resource appreciated in the world and I think he can take Italy
out of the uncertainty determined by the government crisis," he
said of 'Super Mario', credited with saving the euro by doing
"whatever it takes".
Zingaretti said Draghi "today raised the issues in a correct way
addressing parliament, the parties, politics and the social
forces to find the responses together.
"We'll see, but he certainly is a personality who has started to
talk in the correct way".
The PD is the only major party that has come out unequivocally
in favour of Draghi, although ex-premer Silvio Berlusconi's
centre-right Forza Italia (FI) party is also said to be on his
side.
The biggest party in parliament, the formerly anti-establishment
5-Star Movement (M5S), is mostly against him.
