Cabinet De Gasperi VII

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The De Gasperi VII cabinet ruled Italy from July 26, 1951 to July 15, 1953. Before that, the De Gasperi VI cabinet ruled , followed shortly afterwards by the De Gasperi VIII cabinet . The government of Prime Minister Alcide De Gasperi was supported in parliament by the Christian Democrats (DC) and the Republican Party (PRI). It was the last cabinet of the first legislature of the republic. After the elections of June 7, 1953 and the constitution of the second republican parliament, the cabinet dutifully resigned in mid-July. The Christian Democrats emerged from the elections as the strongest political force, but they failed to gain an absolute majority. De Gasperi was again tasked with forming a government, but his eighth cabinet did not gain the confidence of parliament.

Prime Minister De Gasperi was in office from late 1945 to mid-1953. During this time Italy made peace with the Allies in early 1947 , after which their occupation troops withdrew. It was accepted as a founding member of NATO in 1949 , making De Gasperi an integral part of the community of western states. De Gasperi, along with Konrad Adenauer , Robert Schuman and Jean Monnet, is considered to be one of the fathers of European unification . In Italy, De Gasperi created the conditions for the economic miracle (miracolo economico) of the 1950s.
