Abstract

The decision of Italy's President, Sergio Mattarella, to veto Giuseppe Conte's choice of finance minister prompted much discussion about the legitimacy of Mattarella's actions and the impact Italy's membership of the Eurozone has on the country's democracy. Michael Wilkinson argues that however much the pressure on Italy appeared to stem from global financial markets or European constitutional conventions, it was still a fundamentally domestic political crisis made in Italy.
