Berlusconi, 'center-right always loyal to Draghi, M5s the cause of the crisis'

On the

that caused the government crisis "there was no competition from the center-right. We have always been the most loyal supporters of the Draghi government. It was a government of national unity that we were the first to propose to face the emergencies in the country.
