Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi is set to focus on the country’s economic reboot and its fight against the coronavirus pandemic after winning cross-party support for his government’s priorities in parliament.
Draghi secured a broad majority in a Lower House confidence vote Thursday despite the defection of some lawmakers from the Five Star Movement, the biggest party in parliament, a similar result to the same vote in the Senate on Wednesday.
