Italy’s president refuses PM Draghi’s resignation

Italy’s President Sergio Mattarella refuses to accept Prime Minister Mario Draghi’s resignation, in a political crisis that experts have warned could send the eurozone’s third largest economy to snap elections.

Mattarella “did not accept the resignation, and invited the prime minister to appear before parliament to make a statement,” the presidential palace says, amid reports Draghi will address parliament next week to see if he has the necessary majority to stay on.
