Fanfani VI Cabinet


The Fanfani VI Cabinet was the 44th cabinet of the Italian Republic. The government held office from 18 April 1987 to 29 July 1987, for a total of 102 days.
The Fanfani VI Cabinet, composed only of DC ministers with some independent exponents, did not gain the confidence in the Chamber of Deputies following a surreal vote: it gained the trust from PSI, PSDI and Radicals, that were excluded from the government, while the Christian Democrats abstained. Indeed this Government was born with the only aim of managing the electoral transition and had explicitly asked its "parliamentary base" not to vote for trust in its presentation to the Chambers.
The government fell immediately, 11 days after its formation, causing Fanfani's resignation and the early dissolution of the Chambers. The Fanfani VI Government has also been accused of an unprejudiced enlargement of the perimeter of the so-called "Current business".
