ITALY POLITICAL CRISIS
ROME, ITALY
ONGOING MAY 2018

Italy’s president Sergio Mattarella set the euro zone’s third-largest economy on a path to fresh elections on Monday, appointing a former International Monetary Fund official as interim prime minister with the task of planning for snap polls and passing the next budget.

Premier Cottarelli may present his government and list of ministers as early as today, starting from this morning.

When this occurs, and after Mattarella confirms his acceptance, there will be the swearing-in ceremony at the Quirinale Palace, as soon as this afternoon, after which the newly-formed government will go to parliament to obtain a vote of confidence in order to be confirmed.

EUROVISION Special Events will offer the following facilities onsite from the Quirinale Palace & MHER Office Via della Conciliazone

• Standup position for Live programme inserts at the Quirinale Palace and MHER Office
