Italy Government In Turmoil: Berlusconi’s PDL Ministers Resign
With everyone focused on the US government, and whether or not it would remain open past Monday, the real stunner has once again emerged out of left field, in this case Italy, where as Italian news agency Ansa reported moments ago, the ministers in Berlusconi’s PDL party have followed through on their threats announced earlier this week, and have resigned.
Bloomberg reiterates:
- BERLUSCONI’S PDL MINISTERS RESIGN, ANSA SAYS CITING ALFANO
- BERLUSCONI ALLIES OFFER RESIGNATIONS FROM LETTA CABINET: ALFANO
- Berlusconi Says PDL Ministers Should Offer Resignation: Ansa
- BERLUSCONI SAYS LETTA’S ULTIMATUM UNACCEPTABLE: ANSA
On the other hand, in a world built on trial balloons and false rumors and disinformation, perhaps this is merely the latest example:
- LETTA SPOKESWOMAN: ‘NOT AWARE’ OF PDL MINISTERS’ RESIGNATIONS
Although subsequently it seems that Letta admits the PDL ministers did in fact resign:
- LETTA SAYS PDL RESIGNATIONS AT FAULT FOR VAT INCREASE: SKYTG24
And some more flash headhlines out of Bloomberg:
- The govt’s situation is tough and confidence is needed, Ansa reports, citing President Giorgio Napolitano speaking in Naples.
- Italy doesn’t need a “permanent election campaign”

Ministers from ex-PM Silvio Berlusconi’s party are resigning from Italy’s shaky coalition government -spokesman
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-24319274
The party of Italy’s former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi says all five of its ministers are resigning from the shaky coalition government.
The development follows weeks of worsening relations between his party and Prime Minister Enrico Letta’s centre-left grouping.
Mr Berlusconi had already threatened to withdraw his ministers if he is expelled from the Senate for tax fraud.
The crisis could lead to fresh elections amid economic problems.
Mr Letta flew back from New York on Friday in an attempt to prevent the government from collapsing.
The prime minister said late on Friday that he would quit unless his government won a confidence vote due next week in parliament.
