Italy's Draghi seen entering, leaving presidential palace
STORY: Draghi, the former European Central Bank (ECB) president, announced he was to resign on Thursday after the 5-Star Movement, a coalition party, failed to back him in a confidence vote over his plan to combat soaring prices.
"The national unity coalition that backed this government no longer exists," said Draghi, who has been prime minister of a broad coalition since February 2021.
Mattarella asked Draghi, who is an unelected technocrat, to address parliament to get a clearer picture of the political situation.
