Draghi

Devlet Bahçeli, the leader of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), has slammed Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi for calling President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan a dictator, stressing the Turkish history has never created leaders like "Duce" or "Führer."

Turkish ministers condemned on April 9 the Italian prime minister's remarks on the country's president.

"I condemn the low and unacceptable way of the appointed Italian Prime Minister [Mario Draghi] towards our President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan," Treasury and Finance Minister Lütfi Elvan said on Twitter over the remarks of Draghi, calling Erdoğan a "dictator."

The prime ministers of Italy and Greece on April 6 joined a growing number of foreign leaders visiting Libya as it seeks to emerge from a decade of post-revolution chaos under a U.N.-sponsored peace process.

As the man who was credited with saving the single currency during Europe's sovereign debt crisis, Mario Draghi is now being entrusted to form not just a government of national unity but largely one of national salvation as Italy confronts its greatest existential crisis since the end of the Second World War.

Mario Draghi, the man largely credited with saving the euro currency, took the helm as Italy's premier on Feb. 13 after assembling a government of economic experts and other technocrats along with career politicians from across the spectrum to guide the pandemic-devastated nation toward recovery.

Calling on former ECB chief Mario Draghi to form a coalition government may have been Italian President Sergio Mattarella's option of last resort, other than calling early elections. And Draghi, "the Italian who saved the euro," could just turn out to be "the European who saves Italy," as former prime minister Matteo Renzi, put it.

Mario Draghi, the outgoing president of the European Central Bank, is heavily credited with helping to save Greece from economic collapse at the height of its protracted financial crisis.

European Central Bank Governor Mario Draghi will chair the last meeting in Frankfurt before resigning.

Many analysts expect the subsequent press conference to be rather ceremonial and uncharacteristically emotional for the banker, who will remain in the bank's history with his bid to save the euro "whatever it takes".

European Central Bank President Mario Draghi on Friday defended the ECB's role in the Greek debt crisis of 2015, when it froze a cash lifeline for the country's banks - forcing the government to introduce capital controls and weakening its negotiating positions with creditors.

The outgoing president of the European Central Bank, Mario Draghi, was honored by the Athens Academy Tuesday for the crucial role he played in stabilizing the European economy and resolving Greek banks' recapitalization and debt-restructuring problems.
