but prime minister maya druggie has resigned, triggering snuff elections. what's behind the latest political drama, and who stands the game the most? from the turmoil, this is inside story. ah . hello and welcome to the program. i'm getting abigail. mario draggy was known as super mario. the former european central bank chief was appointed as it leads prime minister, 18 months ago to lead a unity, government, and steer the country out of the pandemic. although he was popular among the public drug, he didn't enjoy the same level of support within the fractured coalition. his resignation forced the president to dissolve parliament and call a snap election in september. it's the latest political upset in the euro zones.

10:36 am
a steady hand to pull italy in maybe even the whole continent out of the pandemic. he helped steer billions of dollars of recovery funds to italy, the largest recipient, and the euro zone, and was a leading voice and europe support of ukraine against russia. but in the end, this central banker couldn't wrangle the diverse group of parties in his coalition . each with its own priorities. e gooding, st. james opulence, speak, those populace of, of august are moved. lives splintered. ers civil war, he couldn't jane the other populace, the gallagher on the, on the right way. and because there's plenty, so there's a rate chaos right now underway while some are lamenting the government's collapse, one party is thrilled the far right wing. brothers of italy currently leading in the polls looks likely to win more seats than any other skeptical of brussels. an e u policies. it's not clear, it will be able to manage relationships with other
10:37 am
e u leaders as well as froggy, and some worry, a could even put further e recovery fund payouts at risk adarine. i'll g 0 roam. so italy is no stranger, it's a political turmoil, it's had $69.00 governments since world war 2, that's almost a new administration every year. the brothers of italy currently leads opinion polls with nearly 24 percent. the leader of georgia maloney could head up a right wing governments with the league party and former prime minister silvio berlusconi for italy or the central left democratic party, the only other group holding above 20 percent. it could form a coalition with the populace fivestar movement on smaller parties, but some members have ruled out being in alliance with 5 star. ah, let's not bring in our guest. joining us from rome is mikella gerace, who's a former under secretary at italy's economic development ministry from verona,
10:38 am
illinois upon the head of economic analysis at the center for european policy, and also from rome, giovanni, or seen the director of the school of government and the professor of contemporary history and we squeezed o'corrley university or welcome to you all. thank you so much for your time with us on the inside story. mckelly a jet out you over to you for a so a druggie is credited by some with really restoring italy's credibility on the world stage. but his critics would say he was a technocrat and he couldn't play the part of a politician, especially when it came to dealing with parliament. what do you think went wrong and what went wrong? was this a current government or was formed during the call the, the crisis where pretty much are the interest of the whole can true of all political parties where aligned. and so we formed these government of national unity. now, after the call, the crisis was, you know, way likely over comma. then the differences between the parties to started to
10:39 am
emerge because a collision with 6 or 7 parties, many of them kept on splitting to form a smaller part. of course it was becoming unsustainable and this was the primacy. so for the difficult then relationship between dragon, there was placed there by the president matter a lot to, to lead the parliament. and now the 2nd stage of the parliament actually wanting to lead to the government then. so the conflict was created, right, giovanni, r c, you know, was there any joints for a drug here except resignation? eventually there was no other choice because it was very clear that the majority didn't fall apart. one could argue that when the problem started setting in which is the last week with the 3rd, the no no vote of confidence, which was, it was not really no confidence. it was a vote of confidence actually by the movement. i think he could play the
10:40 am
softer and if he had played it softer, if he had some more choices to remain as prime minister. but it is also clear that he had understood that any ways government would be weekend and we were now to buy the situation. and he was also, i think, personally, quite tired about all that. so he was, you know, way forward and in between his 1st breath friends which seemed to be away. and the national interest of course, which was pulling him in it's in its position. so when he started the resigning last week and then with his speech the day before yesterday, wednesday at the said that i mean email way hotter than the pays or at least he made the task easier for those who wanted to treat him. right, and just stay with us for just a moment because i wonder if you can explain what you mean by he could have played that softer because there was a run in giovanni with the 5 star movement and not ultimately triggered the entire
10:41 am
crisis. then according to reports, the leaders of both the northern league and a force, a italia, issued a statement given that argue their support. however, that support came with conditions. so he was in a really tough position, was the north that was at the end of the crisis, but you know that you get to this position that you are describing. there was a path in a way that led the country there. for instance, that when the last week the 5 star didn't bode the coffee dance, they also said they wanted to gone supporting the government. so there was no need for that. i need to resign. you could have only opened up negotiation in order to build up the majority. that was the softer option, but you wanted to resign. of course, either resignation was refused by the presence of the public, but don't the last resigning dramatize the crisis unless they rather
10:42 am
speech towards the legal and the bid was going for say an old thing that you will basically, you know, way making it more difficult for them to stay in the majority and then online they any 2nd intervention in the fact that he was very stop on the 5 star movement. and also in the case with the softer intervention you might try to win back if i start movement. so there were moments in the very tactical game in which equal the left the door a bit more opened and it remained a very, very strict for reasons about understandable. of course, he wanted to make it very clear for the political parties that they add, that they wanted to go on supporting him. they had to do what you wanted. so what the deal is understandable nonetheless that these is part of the let's say, the development of the crisis. ok, i don't know a resignation now accepted by the president. where are we in terms of the process
10:43 am
of how it lead now head to another election. yes. we are going to have another election by september 25 and dragging will remain hour to do like rent work until the date of the election. as far as the election is concerned, i believe that it is in huge chance that completion of the right wing part is mike lee. the collision will be probably lead by the brothers of the police, which has gain an exception not support your in the last years. let's you do that. yes, pos from the parties. pos from 4 percent in 2019 to most almost 22 percent today . and this was also related to the fact that the party was at the position of the government. and then you know, the other parties as when formed equity should be the league, which has been losing power and authentic tonya led by appointment prime minister
10:44 am
berlusconi. right. so we will see what's going to happen, but is likely that right wing when the ship might take the power. i do want to talk about the right wing parties in a moment or not, but just one more for you. i mean, just on, on the process right now and what happens next, how long do you think it's going to actually take to form a new government? it depends in the sense that it depends on how much the rank winkle issue. but might when, you know, of course, and then you know, its capacity to form a coherent government so you can takes weeks or month, i think ok, these of course his wife frisky in terms of credibility to lee just really got the moment i think a connection a level for, you know, all divisions, let me know. ok. mikaela at the so obviously a period of instability ahead which parties do you think are going to take credit for what's developed over the past few days and who do you think benefits from all of us? i dont think her parties are blanker fighting to get credit for these. so because
10:45 am
on one hand, a 434 parties in a way where the agent of draggy fell out. on the other hand, they also supported him. if he had made some concessions like to run you was mentioning before, so there is no really political capital to be gained by claiming to be the agent of drag. this collapse just because of his reputation. so all parties are shying away from claiming the victorian concentrating already on the come bang. you ask me who will win? i agree with and i will most likely be the center writer coalition that could actually take the a vast majority of the parliament. because if they go to gather date to get across to the 40 percent, the threshold, or they gain a little bit of an extra premium. so the number of members of the parliament could
10:46 am
be higher than the proportion of votes that they receive. or also because the left winger are in a way these united it used to be that the democratic party could go ahead with the 5 star more mentor. now this is not likely to be so we have a, you know, a breakdown of coalition on the left side and out favor the right wing government. that's why i think are out of this crisis that they are the ones who will gain the most benefit. but mikella, how do you explain the rise of the far right in italy? because from what i understand the brothers of italy, the, that's the furthest party to the right. just so for our viewers they, they went from about 4 percent of the vote in 2018 in the general election, to now becoming the biggest party in opinion polls at least. how do you explain this rise? in the main reason is a when
10:47 am
a you have a crisis. so we had the army crisis called with crisis of the war and the sanctions there with her to the italian economy, the gas for everything. the only thing you need to do to gain vote for is to stay in the position. so in a way georgia moloney air was a lie care may me smart to not to be part of the drag or government or in 2021. 16 months ago, and of course, as she raped the benefit to over collecting the anger that's in the meantime, developed in italy. you mentioned before the reputation of draggy in the international arena, which is true because of course sir, he's a man that has led the day you're going to send for bank and so on. back to within italy, m. we ever this content to growing only 2 weeks ago we had the massive taxi drivers crowd tested a pretty much blocked or the whole center aroma with tourist or you know, getting into cale, sir. we have the people who complain still about the way that the government
10:48 am
a bell to we the lock down at the college crisis center for georgia moloney. almost irrespective all her views are, are irrespective of the convent just being in your position almost gives you 5 to 10 percent point to just for not being in the government or giovanni. is that how you see things? i mean this, this, this leader of the right wing party, the brothers of it's in the maloney, she's her party is accused of attracting the support of neo fascist. she holds nationalist views on migration social as well as cultural issues. does she appeal to the italian voters, giovanni? i think, i mean, you can, i was right sir, but i would qualify some of the things that he will say in italy, in the writing country and the con there, i think he's an majority to nita. he has always been and already in the election of
10:49 am
2018, it was very near me for the center, right? collision of the absolute majority. so we should start from that. these are both that are moving inside the right. they're moving from the li, good to from 4th to the lead to brother vitaly. so basically these are right, doing both that's always stayed inside the right. moving from one party to the other. now or regionally day. where in better was going to sort of say, god yeah, but there was no 85. so this is a story that he's coming to. it's closer. and so many votes were actually going out from between 20182019. many of those both went to the league and in the moments i'll be any, was the leader was actually looking life the person in charge to the right. but i mean, he made the number of quite serious political mistakes and seems 2019 that those
10:50 am
are stock of moving from vienna to george. i mean these are the same both. so we've been adding 20182019 even better school yet earlier than that, there are new to need tell you, but this is a very tiny minority. and when you're speaking of a center, right, and that is credited by the electron polls. so 4547 percent actually passed sheets maybe are 2 percent of that role. these is not, you know, fast. she's both the ga milanni is not on the fact that he's the national conservative party arrived. we certainly clear the right to the bar. the national conservative the inside of the boundaries of a liberal democracy in these moments. each clearly want to be governed by at least those that are to be tele. that has always been right. tween good. now things that georgia maloney is more credible either at all or if we,
10:51 am
let's look a little that. okay, let's, let's, well, let me bring in an order because my, if you look at mario dragging tasks, he has been a supporter of ukraine. for example. he played a key role in the g 7 as well as nato and the e u. so if there were to be alert to the rights and italy, then would these policies change drastically? well, let me just add some think. i think that, you know, the reason why a judge, i mean long has been as reach such as level of support is because of sort of this content that i started with coffee but was based also new put on the crisis and migration privacy that he has been leading to this, you have to lot, you know, the effect of the korean war and rising prices of energy and food. and of course the effect of uniforms dragging was doing. we're not still somehow understandable by every day. citizens in the sense that the effect will take it why, you know,
10:52 am
for, for normal people to see as far as you know, the, for an for an agenda is concerned. i believe that if you know you're going to have it right when government, i don't think either you don't see the lead changing completely is position to, was russia. i think george, i mean only was it pretty clear in condemning putin and, and also, you know, 70 the leader of the league even though it was one of the mostly pro ration leader in italy. yes. changed from how is you so i don't see either leave the common pro ration now. what i see is a change in the positioning of it a lead within the you in the sense that those part has been for years, you know, consider it a skeptic. and although their positions had been somehow watered during the crisis in the sense that they dont declare so much to be so much and you know, peon, they seemed relieved in a sort of european union composed by nation state. so, you know, each country should, you know, look at the national interest instead of looking for a common interest. and these,
10:53 am
you know, could place italy in a sort of group of countries complaining about sanctions for instance, which are, which i think, you know, economically better economic impact on national economy. this, i believe it's possible, but i don't see italy leading such a clinician. i see equally become part of any group. if this will be, that big group is going to be formed somehow. right. mikaela. what does this caretaker resignation mean now for the governor? the ability to take on initiatives, for example, as you know at lee is the biggest recipients of the use covered recovery funds. but seeing as that money is tied to certain reforms that italy must take, do you think that italians might lose out on the next installment? no, i don't think so. the current government can carry on with the normal process . i don't think the money is at risk, of course there will be a new government and the government will decide the what to do with these
10:54 am
a recovery fund. i tell you my view is very maybe different from what you may have heard. the money that we get from the european union. first of all, it is money that ultimately comes from the financial mark did. you can, you know, raises funds in the market, and then pass this part of the money back to the member states. and so the ultimate masters are the financial markets like it happens normally the european union, these kind of an intermediary kind of plays the role of almost an investment banker on the writing, the and that all recovery fund the my view has been banned in the wrong weight we 1st easily chase to borrow as much money as possible to 100000000000, almost 191. and now italy has been looking at ways to invest that money. and let me tell you as a professor of finance, this is exactly the thing that my students,
10:55 am
if they do that they will fail. they called all fine. and so $1.00 to $1.00 in the 1st year. you do the other way around, you 1st to least the projects you rank them according to the highest the return or you see how much money you need. you cut alignment to the projects a day to do not to go over a certain hard though, right? right, look at the, how much money you need and then you go and borrow it. so this recovery plan that actually needs to be re looked at the 2 because it's very inefficient. it say that that which is certain and returns that are very uncertain. and even draggy with his own signature admitted that these has a fiscal multiply or 0.9. so basically borrow, do row numbers 200. and we get the sake of time, let me jump in there because i suppose the question that i have now for a giovanni and then i'll come over to eleanora. is that, do you think that the, the giovanni 1st to you, is this all a big blow to, to the government's ability to continue to deliver policies and reforms in the near
10:56 am
term at least well in the near term. of course, the government now is a car or government that is better to do what is going to, what is called the ordinary administration. so certain b as in the month of august and september, while there is still the drug government, we cannot expect very, very, the reforms. i mean part of the next generation your most will be, is ruled by a magic mechanism. so that power will just throw along the reforms that are on the way men might to be completed the, the parties are agreed. but certainly in the let that saying the next 2 or 3 months, i would not expect any any reform because there is no the not the political possibility to an act entity form. ok. let me bring in elanora final words to you. what do you expect to happen in the next few months and you give us
10:57 am
a sense of what it's like in verona? are people paying attention to yet another government's collapse? well, you should talk to citizens, actually there is an i dunno double feeling on the one hand. they're the ones that really, truly believe in drawing. and it was back to 50 percent of the diamonds, who really believed that he could change in on the face of the country. but did not like, you know, the partition government for many reasons. you know, because many of the sustain of dragging came from the left wing or the writing. so of course, it was difficult to bank to see how this government with different parties would go very in the country. on the other, however you at odyssey does, and that's not on the stand, you know, political landscape and again, did not seem to benefit natalie all eat the least common water line where you know, the western or planting powers like edmunds, just, you know, raising prices. so coins and you know, a high year, you know, foot prices,
10:58 am
and for them, you know, they're not touch, you know, by discipline, because cries is actually, and i think those are also the ones that are going to vote, you know, for grants, to be built in the sense that mix content or you know, on this content about, you know, they put in situation resolved in a protest vote basically ok, but the only body than what's outside is what he. she will have to leave it there on that. oh, thank you so much for joining us. i mikella gerace and an order, poli and giovanni or so, you know, we thank you so much. thank you for watching. you can see the program again any time by visiting our website al jazeera dot com for further discussion. you can go to our facebook page, that's facebook dot com, forward slash ha inside story, or in the conversation on twitter or as well, or handle as a j inside story from myself, the whole team here. and uh huh. thanks for watching. bye bye for now. a
10:59 am
on counting the cost once the economic impact of europe $6.00 stream weather conditions and the developing nations getting the funds needed to make the transition to renewables plus across have returned to the skies. but is the demand for a new plane on the rise? counting the cost on al jazeera in the early hours of the morning, these palestinian families are being forced to leave their homes and belongings. these already military sometimes uses this area in the north of the occupied west bank as a training ground. explosions, like these often break the piece here. i feel for the children they get scared of the bombing. i tried to calm them down there, but we are scared to. these really are me, told them just either that it takes measures to protect civilians during back the sizes. what is really, officers previously said, the trainings are used to push palestinians out 48 families once lived in this
11:00 am
village called zeek. now, there are only 20 people here, say they have nowhere else to go. so they have to stay out until they're allowed to return to their home. after midnight, the military drill will continue for 3 days, which means they'll have to go through this again, twice this week. how and why did it become so obsessed? with this law, we were giving them a tool to hold corrupt individuals and human rights abusers accountable. very when i read this deal of hard, if they take the white house in 2025, what is the world hearing what we're talking about by american today we take on us politics and society. that's the bottom line. talk to al jazeera, we ask, can you be more specific, how many folks are you asking for, and what kind of military equipment we listen, asked the people of cuba in the street. if there is a difference between donald trump and joe bite for them, it's fine. we meet with global news makers, i'm talk about the story.
