History

edit

After the fall of the Berlusconi Government, the President of the Republic Oscar Luigi Scalfaro entrusted Lamberto Dini (already Minister of the Treasury for the Berlusconi Government) with the task of forming a new cabinet.[5]

The new government, composed only of independents, was supported by the Democratic Party of the Left, Northern League, Italian People's Party, Greens, Segni Pact, Democratic Alliance, Italian Socialists and The Network. The parties of the Pole (Forza Italia National Alliance and Christian Democratic Centre) announced their intention to abstain from the vote of confidence, while the Communist Refoundation Party voted against.[citation needed]

After the split of the United Christian Democrats from the Italian People's Party, the government lost the majority to the Chamber of Deputies.[citation needed]

On 19 October 1995, the Senate approved an individual motion of no confidence against Minister of Justice Filippo Mancuso, introduced by the parties supporting the cabinet and endorsed by the Prime Minister. In May 1995 Mancuso had accused the methods used in the Mani Pulite investigation and asked for disciplinary action against the pool of magistrates who had carried out the investigations.[citation needed]

On 30 December 1995 Lamberto Dini resigned, since the government had already achieved the programmatic goals it was tasked by parliament to bring to term. On 16 February 1996, Scalfaro therefore dissolved parliament and called a snap election.[citation needed]
