Mario Draghi’s push to fix Italy is moving up a gear.
The prime minister has secured cabinet support for his plans to shake up the justice system, while his finance ministry officials have started talks with UniCredit SpA over the sale of state-owned Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena SpA. On Tuesday, President Sergio Mattarella will enter the final six months of his mandate and that means that, according to the Italian constitution, parliament can’t be dissolved until a new head of state is elected.
