Renzi to be sworn in as Italy PM
Saturday, 22 February 2014
Italian centre-left politician Matteo Renzi is due to be sworn in as prime minister later. At 39, the Democratic Party leader will be Italy's youngest-ever PM. On Friday he formally accepted the mandate to lead a new government and named his cabinet. He ousted Prime Minister and party colleague Enrico Letta in a vote earlier this month. Mr Renzi said his coalition would give "hope" to the economically-stagnant country. He has promised to overhaul the jobs market and the tax and education systems within four months. Half of the new cabinet will be women, according to BBC.
