| Italian Premier’s Candidate Elected President |
| Roma, 31.01.2015 |
|
| Italian lawmakers elected Sergio Mattarella, a constitutional court judge and seasoned politician, as the country’s president, giving a big political boost to Prime Minister Matteo Renzi who nominated him.
Mr. Mattarella, 73, a longtime politician coming from the once-dominant and now defunct Christian Democratic Party, was chosen by nearly two-thirds of the over 1,000 lawmakers and regional representatives in the fourth round of voting, after three inconclusive votes in the past two days.
Lawmakers bursted into a long applause when it became clear that Mr. Mattarella, who had won the unanimous backing of Mr. Renzi’s center-left Democratic Party, had amply surpassed the simple majority needed to became the new head of state. He received 665 votes to become the country’s 12th president since World War II.
The victory brought a swift end to a process that in the past often proved to be long and tricky and that was seen as a key test for Mr. Renzi’s leadership.
Mr. Mattarella’s election comes at a crucial moment for Mr. Renzi’s one-year-old government, which is trying to push forward an ambitious agenda of economic and institutional reforms aimed at pulling Italy out of a triple-dip recession, amid early signs of a timid recovery.
