MILAN—Italian Premier-designate Mario Draghi has secured preliminary support from two key parties for forming a new government that will decide how to spend more than 200 billion euros ($240 billion) in European Union funds to help relaunch Italy’s pandemic-ravaged economy.
The populist 5-Star Movement and the right-wing League both signaled support for a Draghi-led government on Feb. 6, saying they were ready to put aside bitter rivalries for the good of the country and increasing the potential for a broad-based government of national unity.
