11:02 am
country's first populist government but just said picante says he's had to give up . i have rejected the mandate to form a government that was offered to me by a president. i can assure you i have given all of my efforts and all of my attention to these task and i have worked in a climate of maximum collaboration. it all centers around this man paulose of the league and five star parties had put him forward is that candidate to head the economy and finance ministry this is the euro skeptic had asked whether it's really should stop using the euro as its official currency but that's the last thing the president wants. another senior to you on to the minister of the economy the nomination for the economy ministry delivers an

immediate message of trust or alarm to the financial world order which if you know the. orchestra but it can mean if i ask for that ministry to be taken by a notable figure from the majority political party or. someone who was aware of the program and someone who does not support the policy which was often announced by the coalition parties. in it or do. you vote to manifest the sort of action which could provoke all lead to italy leaving the euro or the photo shoot of it it kind of. the president's decision to reject the candidate has angered many of italy's political figures not least the leader of the five star movement who suggested matter relit be impeached for betraying the state. the child was dead let me say this clearly not turning out to version is pointless in this country because the ratings agencies choose the government even when the citizens

and weave consensus between two political forces who want to change things and you want to represent a tally and send their interests in the end to why always seems to be found to block the people's will going to see it on the field. but was it was the. president not to read has summoned former international monetary fund director kahlo car to rally for talks a further attempt to end the long running political impasse in a country which could soon face the prospect of snap elections. so is italy seeing an unprecedented political and institutional clash more on that let's bring in journalist philip will he joins us live from rome philip in that piece we heard the italian president outlining why he rejected the elected alliances pick for economics minister what was so wrong with paolo so.
11:05 am
well that palace owner is actually a rather strange choice there on the bottom of the populist directly on the part of the anti establishment five star movement because he has said himself a member of the economic establishment and has been for decades and he's eighty one years old as well so where in terms of novelty yet it he's not a new new kid on the block by any means that it seems that the president was not satisfied with reassurances that mr serve only gave and that he wouldn't upset the e.u. consensus and he was intending to lead actually out of the euro mr stern and made a statement on a web site and which happened to be a web site which is hosted at the anti euro and information previously

there was also talk of an interview with the financial times that might have screeched the markets but again now that mr boehner reportedly declined to do that so at the end of the day it came down to a complete stand of tween the two sides and mr manager has said he wouldn't budge on this issue ok now and earlier today the foreign policy chief enrico bugger rainy told reporters that she had confidence in the italian president and his decisions but let's take a listen to that and some confidence that is how has the differences and to present to the public will prove to be as always serving the interest of the italian citizens that by the way coincides also on par with the strength of the european union i noticed today that the trust level of trust that italians have in the european union has gone up in the last days it's now forty one percent i believe this is something we should on track to what. philip federica maria mcgreevey

saying there that the italian people trust italy's institutions that italians trust in the e.u. is growing but that's quite a claim in light of election results isn't a yes i think it could be yeah degree of wishful thinking that i think a lot of italians do have confidence in mr matter and the presidency over thirty years and you know he's been on the side for some time to of course set and a member of the union but the days when it talian thought that good government would come out of brussels because they couldn't shut trust their own visions i think are long gone and the success of the foci lists one of the success of communications on net social media and the decline of the influence of traditional media to clearly mainstream newspapers all of these things i think are
