Berlusconi to quit | |
2006-04-30 | |
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi says he will resign, ending three weeks of wrangling over a narrow election defeat and clearing the political decks for Romano Prodi to take power. Mr Berlusconi, who had previously alleged election fraud and refused to formally concede defeat after April 9-10 polls, will hand his resignation to President Carlo Azeglio Ciampi on Tuesday after a scheduled Cabinet meeting.

#1 Too bad, for awhile Italy was a contender. Now it is going to drop back into the same category as Spain and France, has-beens dreaming of past glories as they wait to die. |
