...for Eurosceptics, I mean. Am watching Sky News.
Apparently a coalition of "ditch the euro" parties is not allowed to have a "ditch the euro" finance minister. Not EU/sharia compliant you see - "No spooks in my family", RIP Errol Brown)

//The president of Italy, an institutionally respected figure, has limited powers but ones which have often proved crucial during political crises.
The current President Sergio Mattarella refused to appoint a eurosceptic finance minister, even though he was the choice of the prime minister-designate and had the backing of the majority of parliamentarians.//
No doubt at the behest of Germany. He himself of course is a rampant Europhile puppet. The EUSSR once again thwarts a democratic choice by a Nation's electorate to break free of the chains, forged and fitted in the secret corriders of Brussels.

Nobody is critising anyone.
It is called a discussion. Something grown ups do.
Ick, ok yes I see what you mean now.
The problem is he appears to have now put in place a Europhile finance minister which is probably not a wise move. Surely a very neutral one wold be best as this just appears to be bowing to the German masters (Whether or not it is intentional).
I quite agree with the comparisons with Mr McDonnell. They both seem to have a peculiar grip on the reality of economics (regardless of the EU). I think he would have taken Italy down a very dodgy path and even though I dislike the EU the last thing anyone should want is the collapse of it in a destructive manner. Helps no one in the World.

"With a raft of economic policies that would bankrupt Italy."
Italy has been effectively bankrupt since four or five years after it adopted the euro and was no longer able to control its economy by currency devaluation.
Once again it has been demonstrated that anti-EU or anti-euro movements will not be accepted. More than 50% of Italians voted for one of the two parties who attempted to form a Coalition. Those two parties agreed on their choice of finance minister. Their choice was rejected by the President. Whether he overstepped the mark may well be tested in the courts but he has had, no doubt, a phone call or two from Brussels (or Strasbourg or wherever the Euromaniacs were then settled) and Berlin over the past few weeks.
This is going to end nastily. If the Euromaniacs believe that they can control Italy in the same way as they controlled a misbehaving Greece a few years ago they should think again. Italy is not Greece and Frau Merkel now is not the Frau Merkel she was then.

//Italy's new populist government-in-waiting resigned on May 28 after its choice of a eurosceptic finance minister was rejected by the country's pro-EU president — who instead asked an unelected technocrat to form a pro-EU government.
The political wrangling ends a bid by Italy's two anti-establishment parties — the left-leaning Five Star Movement (M5S) and the center-right League (Lega) — to form a populist coalition government, which would have been the first of its kind in Europe.
The political situation reflects the stranglehold on power wielded by the pro-EU establishment, which is evidently determined to preserve economic austerity at the expense of democracy.
Italian president Sergio Mattarella refused to accept the nomination for finance minister of Paolo Savona, an 81-year-old former industry minister who has called Italy's entry into the euro a "historic mistake."
In his latest book, "Like a Nightmare and a Dream" (Come un incubo e come un sogno), Savona called the euro a "German cage" and warned that "we need to prepare a plan B to get out of the euro if necessary... the other alternative is to end up like Greece."//
