FALL OF PRODI SPELLS EARLY ELECTIONS
President Napolitano is seeking to avoid an early dissolution of Parliament in spite of the collapse of the majority which, under the leadership of Romano Prodi, won the elections less than two years ago.
The President would like to bring about a temporary Government which rules the country for the time needed to change the electoral system.
However, attempts made in the weeks before the fall of Prodi have shown that there is no wide enough agreement in the present Parliament to achieve a consensus.
Italy's Agenda
A survey of the context, background and current state of the main projects currently in Parliament:
-
Veltroni fails to bridge gap on electoral reform.
-
Centre-left misses (again) chance of legislating on conflict of interest and broadcasting.
-
Blitz secures class action law.
-
Besieged liberalisations will expire with Parliament.
-
Unions weary of industrial relations talks without Government involvement.
Companies and Sectors
- Kazakhstan reassures
ENI after Prodi
visit.
- Malpensa fights rearguard action against AirFrance-KLM bid for Alitalia.
-
ENI agrees to share Kashagan leadership.
-
A2A seeks greater role in Edison tie-up.

DEMOCRATIC PARTY
MISSES ITS BEST CHANCE
The chance that the ruling
centre-left coalition and the
Prodi Government would
derive new vitality from the
creation of the Democratic
Party has being missed.
However long the Prodi administration
lasts, it will
have no effectiveness and
will owe its continuation to
fear or rejection of the alternatives
– above all fear of
early elections.
Italy's Agenda
A survey of the context, background and current state of the main projects currently in Parliament:
-
Electoral referendum
project passes first
hurdle.
- Welfare Protocol at
heart of Budget debate.
- Senate committee
halts liberalisation
debate
Companies and Sectors
- Kazakhstan reassures
ENI after Prodi
visit.
- Prato prepares Alitalia’s
final act.
- Anatel delays its and
Telecom’s decisions.
- Is a return to nuclear
power feasible ?
