non-Parliamentarian and the last government led by Christian Democrats
.

Former communists joined the government for the first time since 1947,[3] but they left the government after a few days.

Indeed, on 4 May 1993, a few days later the settlement of the government, the Democratic Party of the Left and the Federation of the Greens withdrew their ministers, in protest against the failed authorization to proceed against Bettino Craxi by the Chamber of Deputies.[4] The PDS ministers were replaced with independents.
