The third Andreotti government, also known as the government of non no-confidence (Italian: governo della non sfiducia) or government of national solidarity (Italian: governo di solidarietà nazionale),[1] was the 33rd cabinet of the Italian Republic. The first government in the history of the Italian Republic to count among its members a woman, Tina Anselmi as Minister of Labour and Social Security, it held office from 1976 to 1978.[2]
The third Andreotti government obtained the confidence in the Senate of the Republic on 6 August 1976, with 136 votes in favour, 17 against, and 69 abstentions, and in the Chamber of Deputies on 9 August 1976, with 258 votes in favour, 44 against, and 303 abstentions. It was a single-party government composed only of members of Christian Democracy (DC); it was known as the government of non no-confidence because it obtained the vote of confidence in the Italian Parliament thanks to the abstentionism of the Italian Communist Party (PCI) led by Enrico Berlinguer.[3] The third Andreotti government fell on 31 January 1978 due to the withdrawal of support from the PCI, which wanted to be directly involved in the government, a proposal rejected by the DC.[4]
