Why Did the Political Crisis Erupt in Italy?
The centrist coalition government of Italian PM Giuseppe Conte is in crisis after ex-PM Matteo Renzi withdrew his tiny Italia Viva party out of coalition. He indicated that he would only return if his demands were accepted. Renzi is unhappy with the government mismanagement at the time of Pandemic and economic crisis. Last week, Conte survived a vote of confidence in both houses of Parliament, but without an absolute majority. The lack of a majority confined the government business – hence causing the political shake-up in Italy.
How Did All This Happen?
Political crisis emerged as Italy struggles to come out of the pandemic and the economic downturn.
PM Conte’s plans for spending €209bn out of €750bn EU recovery funds for the COVID-19 Pandemic was widely criticized by Renzi. Instead, he made below demands.
- Funds to be invested in promising and innovative sectors like digital and green technologies.
- Allocations to be decided by MPs, rather than technocrats.
- More investment for well-equipped health services.
Conte failed to gain enough support to replace Renzi’s MP with other lawmakers, thus having no other option other than resignation.

Italy has suffered several political crises since the end of World War II and has held many snap elections before sitting governments have finished their electoral terms. But the eruption of political crisis at the times when the country is in grip of pandemic which has taken the life of 85,000 Italians, will be considered as worst possible time for Italy.

Know the Real Reason for the Crisis
We are living in this Kaal lok where there is no peace and comfort. The vices of lust, anger, greed, love-hatred, joy-sorrow, profit-loss, pride-honour, born from Trigunmayi Maya, are troubling every living being. In the current situation in Italy where there is a fight over the kingdoms, the power, strength, and honor of the leaders is at stake, such situation can never bring peace and will bring pain and suffering for the nation.
Sat Bhakti Is the Only Remedy for All Chaos
Sant Rampal ji has explained in His Sermons that Indra, the king of heaven after completing the tenure, becomes a donkey, an ant and bears pain in hell and on the Earth. Then how come owning the kingdoms on this earth is worth satisfying to us.
The seekers should also ponder upon the fact that there is no point worshipping to attain Heaven. Instead, one should aim to attain the Eternal Abode ‘Satlok’. Sant Rampal Ji has given the detailed information about Satlok, Immortal Abode, the place of Almighty KavirDev which is also the real home of all souls residing on Earth. ‘Satlok’ is the Abode of happiness where there is no death, no old age, no vices, no misery.
What Should the Seekers Do?
Sant Rampal ji says that by doing Sat Bhakti in accordance to our holy books we can go to Satlok. The seekers can take Naam Diksha (Initiation) from Enlightened Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj and perform Sat Bhakti to get the desired results from true worship of God Kabir Saheb.
