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. d’alema • giuliano • amato • italy • rome

Italian Government Crisis: Revenge of the Dwarves The crisis of the Prodi-government and the new cabinet of Massimo D'Alema (DS), the first former communist Italian prime minister... In 28 months Romano Prodi's Olive-coalition (center-left) had led Italy from an almost hopeless financial situation to become a fully respected partner in European Currency Union. Then a coalition crisis caused by the Communists and a negative confidence vote in parliament forced the successful prime minister to step down. Unwilling to face new elections, the major government forces proposed an enlargement of their coalition to forces of the right center, excluding at the same time the most unreliable part of the Communist Party. New prime minister Massimo D'Alema is the first ex-communist leader to govern in a Western European country. The circumstances of this crisis highlight the reasons for the enduring political instability in postwar Italy, a country that has seen 55 different governments in 53 years. massimo • d'alema • romano • prodi • italy

Democracy Italian Style: Party Talks Forever After a nation-wide series of corruption scandals in 1992/93 and an electoral shift that replaced large part of the political class and parties in the following elections of 1994, Italian politics seems still all the same. Fifteen years of discussion and three inter-parliamentary commissions have produced - nothing but mountains of worthless paper. The Italian people and the European partners are still waiting for the long overdue reform of the Constitution of 1948, but parties won't agree, because they fear to lose part of their extra-large power extent. Thus the only institutional change in the last twenty years has been imposed by popular decision through referendum. But even this instrument has shown less successful, as a new referendum held in April was thwarted. Now Italian parties prepare to elect a new State President just the traditional way: let's talk about it! italian politics • scalfaro • d'alema • marini • ciampi
Italy: President Elected, Red Brigades Resurrected With the swift election of the new state president Carlo Azeglio Ciampi Italy's political class has given a rare and surprising example of efficiency and responsibility. The former prime minister, finance minister and central banker has been elected due to an agreement between the majority and the opposition. In the past Ciampi has always proved master of a new style of consensus policy and therefore his election has now grown new hopes for the long awaited Constitutional reforms. Before that, however, parties have to run the test of the European elections on June 13th, which could even jeopardize the government stability. Meanwhile in Rome the historic terrorist group "Red Brigades" has made an unexpected return, killing a high government official. ciampi • rome • red brigades • ds • ppi
