“Why Italy’s New President Could Make or Break Economy”

 The article I chose to blog about this week is titled “Why Italy’s New President could make or break Economy” by Russell Padmore. This article taken from BBC News talks about multiple different things. In Italy, politics is different. In the article, it states, “The head of the Italian state has limited powers, but the President does appoint a prime minister and can influence the government’s economic strategy…” This means the appointed prime minister the President can choose early next year in 2023 will either help the economy, or make it worse. There is pressure on the President to choose the right person who will help their economy. As of right now, Italy’s economy is struggling. The reason why is due to the pandemic. The article talks about how Italy’s economy suffered at the start of the pandemic, but yet has gotten better. The current prime minister of Italy is Mario Draghi. The article discusses how he wants to become the next President of the Italian Republic and what would happen if that were to occur. Italy’s economy is steadily growing to where it used to be, but they still have more growth to go. I recommend this article because it highlights different key information that I find very interesting.
