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.
