Italian Government: Another One Bites the Dust
With the resignation of Massimo D'Alema the Italian Republic has used up its 57th government since 1945. Used up is even the prime minister whose nine-party coalition has been quarrelling without a pause for over a year. Now D’Alema has stepped down after the negative results of his center-left coalition in regional elections. The opposition "Freedom-Pool" led by media-tycoon Silvio Berlusconi won in eight of fifteen regions. Berlusconi´s alliance with his former rival Umberto Bossi of the Northern League has worked particularly well in the productive north asking for devolution. A week after D'Alema's resignation the center-left coalition agreed on the previous treasury minister Giuliano Amato to lead the new government. Due to massive party interference the new prime minister, a Socialist, has presented only a poor cabinet and program. Clinging to power, the party leaders of the center-left coalition don’t seem to have the slightest clue on how to prepare for the general elections early next year.
