Pier Luigi Bersani, Chairman of The Democratic Party of Italia
The Democratic Party of Italy, the main center-left opposition party in the country, has called for the resignation of Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.
According to IRNA, the party called for the resignation amid a deepening political wrangling and disagreement between Berlusconi and his conservative ally Gianfranco Fini, who is also the President of the Italian Chamber of Deputies.
Political strife within Italy’s biggest center-right political party, Party of Freedom, led by Berlusconi has intensified after he threatened Fini of expulsion from the party over a controversial wiretap law that analysts say has been tailor-made to shield Berlusconi from prosecution.
Speaking to Sky TG24 news channel on Monday, Enrico Letta the Deputy Secretary of the Democratic Party said “Italy is in dire need of a government that is capable of governing the country at a time of economic crisis.”
