Italian Foreign Minister, Paolo Gentiloni asked to form a government by the country's president
Italian Foreign
Minister, Paolo Gentiloni, is being asked to form a government by the country's
president.
In a brief acceptance speech, Gentiloni said
he realised the urgency of forming the government to reassure the country, assuring
that he would work within the framework of the previous administration, making
it likely that he will reappoint several ministers.
President Sergio Mattarella has been looking
for a replacement for centre-left Prime Minister, Matteo Renzi, who resigned
after losing a referendum on constitutional reform last week.
62 year old Gentiloni is a loyalist from Renzi's
Democratic Party and reports say that if he is successful in rallying support, a
government could be formed in days.
