The 2022 Italian government crisis was a political event in Italy that began on 14 July.[1][2][3] It includes the events that followed the announcement of Giuseppe Conte, leader of the Five Star Movement (M5S) and former Prime Minister of Italy, that the M5S would withdraw its support to the national unity government of Mario Draghi over a bill regarding an economic stimulus to combat the ongoing energy and economic crisis.[4] The government fell a week later when the M5S, Lega, and Forza Italia did not take part in a vote of confidence in the Government.[5]
On 14 July, despite having largely won the confidence vote, Prime Minister Draghi offered his resignation, which was rejected by President Sergio Mattarella.[6][7][8] On 21 July, Draghi resigned again after a new confidence vote in the Senate failed to pass with an absolute majority, following the defections of M5S, Lega, and Forza Italia;[9][10][11] President Mattarella accepted Draghi's resignation and called a snap election[12] for 25 September 2022.[13]
