Berlusconi Fini ignores the ultimatum in a climate of crisis
The Northern League maintains its support Government to a hovering
The collapse of three days ago with the famous House of the Gladiators at Pompeii "has become the metaphor that describes Italy after 17 years of Berlusconi," according to the governor of Puglia Nichi Vendola. The same President Giorgio Napolitano, has described the collapse of this age-old building in which they trained athletes "a disgrace to the country."
The data and the climate seem to confirm this general feeling of decline. Pursued by sex scandals and the growing internal division, the government headed by Silvio Berlusconi seems about to fall apart. The bishops, ironclad Berlusconi's allies, see it that way. The President of the Episcopal Conference Angelo Bagnasco, said yesterday: "We are troubled for this while the country seems stuck Italy stunned and looks around bewildered."
In the words of the covenant of Berlusconi and President of the Chamber of Deputies Gianfranco Fini, the executive "should not last a minute longer." In reference to the terms of Berlusconi, who often said that its not is a government of talk but of doing, Fini said: "Now is the Government to show that all is well." His ultimatum on Sunday, when he demanded the resignation of Prime Minister within 48 hours, brought the term to a point of no return.
Berlusconi ally responded to a motion of no confidence in Parliament, if he dares. Yesterday, the Prime Minister met with the leadership of the Northern League groped to find a way out of crisis. Umberto Bossi, leader of the Northern League, has brought the wrath of the bases of the movement, which saw them close the forum on the Internet for the tone of bitter criticism of the private life of the head of government. Exit, the delivery was the same as always: "The government goes on."
The Northern League decided yesterday to continue his alliance with the government until they have been completed measures on fiscal federalism, then to try to anticipate the election. But that decision depends on Napolitano, who yesterday warned that the Government must last at least until the finance is approved.
While unemployment continues to rise, the fall in the south of Pompeii can cost way to Culture Minister Sandro Bondi. It was a blow to the image similar to that of the garbage crisis in Naples and Vesuvius. In Brescia, six African immigrants have spent a week on a crane to 36 meters to claim the right to be regularized, and yesterday, the police evacuated the base camp. In response, in Milan, another group of Africans rose up a chimney.
is not easy to predict what will happen or when. According to Massimo Giannini, La Repubblica, "Fini Berlusconi has put in front of his April 25, 1945 the day that Italians rebelled against Benito Mussolini Nazi occupation. For the analyst Giancarlo Santalmassi "the situation is desperate, but in these cases, the Italian creativity is second to none. Berlusconi will try anything not to go home. It may even groped a coup modern forcing a crisis of government to replace Finian with people of his party, which would be prohibited by the Constitution. "
