En una jornada doblemente dramática en Italia, el ex premier Matteo Renzi abrió la crisis de gobierno mientras se anunciaba que los muertos por la pandemia llegaron a 80.326, además de 15.744 contagiados y 507 decesos en las últimas 24 horas.
Renzi anunció las renuncias al gobierno de las ministras Teresa Bellanova y Elena Bonetti y de un subsecretario, los tres de su partido Italia Viva.

“Otherwise, a [government] crisis wouldn't be understood by the country,” Conte told reporters.
Mattarella has said that if the current government collapses, he may pull the plug on the legislature and trigger early elections rather than risk an alternative coalition with fragile support in parliament.
