Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte has resigned following public protests over his failure to contain the Corona epidemic. According to the World News Agency, Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, acknowledging the poor performance of the Corona epidemic, offered his resignation to President Sergio Mattarella, but the president did not resign until a new government was formed. He directed to continue the work which is expected to be decided in two days. The Italian prime minister was under intense public pressure to adopt an ineffective policy against the Corona epidemic. More than 85,000 people died of the corona virus, sparking riots across the country. Demonstrators demanded the resignation of Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, which has hampered the consolidation of his weak coalition government, and two days earlier the president had called for the government to be strengthened. Despite clear instructions from the president, the prime minister failed to persuade the allies and lost his majority in the Senate, leaving him with no choice but to go home. In a statement, the resigned prime minister expressed hope that the new government would be strong and free to make decisions in the public interest.
