Ex-Interior Minister Alfano Appointed Italy's Foreign Minister
Angelino Alfano, who served as secretary of Silvio Berlusconi’s People of Freedom party and as Italy's interior minister, was appointed the Italian new foreign minister, according to Prime Minister-designate Paolo Gentiloni.
ROME (Sputnik) — Leader of Italy's New Center-Right (Nuovo Centrodestra) party Angelino Alfano was appointed the country's new foreign minister, Prime Minister-designate Paolo Gentiloni said on Monday.
The post was previously held by Gentiloni himself.
12 December 2016, 18:10 GMT
In 2011-2013, Alfano served as secretary of Silvio Berlusconi’s People of Freedom party, while in April 2013 he was appointed Italy's interior minister.
Earlier in the day, Gentiloni submitted to President Sergio Mattarella a list of ministers to form the new cabinet. The swearing-in ceremony is set to be held at 19:00 GMT at the Quirinal Palace.
On Wednesday, Prime Minister Matteo Renzi stepped down after his constitutional reform proposals were rejected by Italians in a referendum, which was largely seen as an opportunity for the nation to express its dissatisfaction with the government. The "no" campaign was led by anti-establishment and Euroskeptic opposition parties.
