Italy's new Prime Minister can't shake off the stench of a stitch-up

Bull, MJ

Abstract

Only days after its prime minister resigned over a lost referendum, Italy found itself with a new government and a new prime minister, Paolo Gentiloni. But however smooth the transition was, the turbulent circumstances that led up to it were far from resolved. Despite the vote having widely been regarded as a political vote against former Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, the new government resembles very much its predecessor, leading to accusations of a stitch-up.
