Berlusconi is a man fighting against the whole country. I don't know how he can govern Italy in this way, and in fact I think he won't be governing it any more.

This is a result of historic proportions.

We have irresponsible people in the government, people who shouldn't be part of it. Berlusconi is to blame, because he brought these people into the government.

Every day Berlusconi is picking a fight with someone. Alas, he is starting to lose his lucidity. I don't know how he can think to govern Italy in this fashion.

We had a radical clash over policy programs, a pact now would be incomprehensible for the citizens. There can be no coup de theatre, no rabbit pulled out of a hat.

Italy desperately needs to make economic reforms. Making tough decisions with a divided coalition is very difficult.
