The process of creating a new Italian government can drag on for more than a month

The five -year government in Italy of the right -centers, led by Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, seems to have come to an end. In the elections to both chambers of the parliament, their eternal opponents - levocentrists won. More precisely, the Union Bloc, led by the former chairman of the European Commission Romano Prodi. According to Exit-Polls, the Soyuz scored from 50 to 54 percent of the vote, the Coalition "House of Freedom" Silvio Berlusconi received from 45 to 49 percent. Writes Izvestia .

It is obvious that the Italians supported the prodi not because of the sympathy for this tedious and “right” policy that has never got rid of the image of a university professor over the years of his career. It’s just that many people were tired of the Prime Minister, the first riches of the country, the “eternal optimist”, with their endless jokes and unfulfilled promises.

Prode promises to withdraw Italian troops from Iraq, strengthen the state treasury, reduce taxes, eliminate the “roll towards America”, which was clearly designated under Berlusconi, and “make peace” with the European Union.

On the second day after the announcement of the results of the parliamentary elections in Italy, issues of the formation of a new Italian government come to the fore. In this matter, the President of the Republic should play the role of the Supreme Arbitrator, who will present the mandate on the formation of the cabinet candidate for the prime minister.

President Carlo Adzelo Champi has already managed to play a stabilizing role, publicly announcing the legitimate nature of the elections in the conditions when the coalition of the right center casts doubt on the victory of the rivals.

The seven -year period of stay as president of Champi expires on May 18. The 86-year-old head of state does not intend to run again to the highest post. In this regard, it is very likely that he will refuse to entrust someone to the formation of the government, and the process of formation of the executive branch may delay. This was stated by the leader of the Left Center Romano Prodi, who explained to journalists that the deadlines for the formation of a new government are outside his competence, ITAR-TASS reports.

There is an option to create a “technical” cabinet that will do current affairs during the formation of parliament, designed to elect the new president of the republic.

Most likely, Romano Prodi will get the opportunity to lead such a transitional government, but the option and “calling” of another, non -partisan, candidate is not excluded. The name of the former European Commissioner for competition Mario Monty is called.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, who announced the possibility of creating the Great Coalition Government with the participation of both blocks, proposed his way out of the situation. "I think that now we must take an example from any other European country, possibly as important as Germany to decide whether to combine efforts and rule in harmony," Berlusconi said.

Prodi refused Berlusconi to create a "big coalition" in Italy

Romano Prodi, the leader of the Italian left -grooming bloc, who won with the minimum advantage in the parliamentary elections, rejected the proposal of Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi on Tuesday evening about the formation of the Great Coalition Government for the “German model” with the participation of the left and right center.

Prodi stated that the Union’s left -centric coalition (Soyuz) received a sufficient majority in parliament to independently form the government. He also rejected the prime minister’s statements that during the elections there were supposedly violations.

"As for the" Big Coalition ", we went to the elections within a certain coalition and, according to the election law, received the number of deputies in the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate, giving us the opportunity to come to power," said Prodi.

He also condemned the prime minister’s refusal to recognize his own defeat on the basis that during the elections there were supposedly violations. Prodi pointed out that the calculation of the votes that awarded the Levocentrists to win the elections was carried out by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Berlusconi government and that the electoral law, according to which the opposition won, was adopted in December last year at the initiative of the Berlusconi legal coalition. “I think it’s inappropriate to act with accusations now,” said Prodi.
