The Fanfani VI Cabinet, composed only of DC ministers with some independent exponents, did not gain the confidence of the Chamber of Deputies following a surreal vote: PSI, PSDI and Radicals, that were excluded from the government, voted in favor of the confidence motion, while the Christian Democrats abstained.[1] This government was born with the only aim of managing the electoral transition and had explicitly asked its "parliamentary base" not to vote in favour of the government during its presentation to the Chambers.

The government fell immediately, 11 days after its formation, causing Fanfani's resignation and the early dissolution of the Chambers. The Fanfani VI Government has also been accused of an unprejudiced enlargement of the perimeter of the so-called "current business".[2]
