(ANSA) - LONDON, JUNE 15 - Weakened by the February vote, but still in power, with the prime minister rotating. The announced defensive coalition in Ireland between the 2 center-right rival parties traditionally dominant in the country has been formalized today (Micheal Martin's Fianna Fail and Leo Varadkar's Fine Gael, outgoing premier and first gay and son of an immigrant father in power in Dublin) , almost 5 months after the elections who had questioned his hegemony thanks to the sensational advance of the radical nationalist Sinn Fein of Mary Lou McDonald: female leader no longer tied to the dierede image of what was the political arm of the wrath of the wrath . The alliance, with the decisive crutch of the Greens, will see Martin - whose formation garnered fewer votes at the polls, but more Sinn Fein seats - as the next head of government.
   While Varadkar, who came down with his party in third place, will have to settle for being prime minister at the end of 2022.
