Parliament approves Prodi government

<<back next>>

Romano Prodi’s new government passed its final hurdle, approval by the Chamber of Deputies, the lower house of the Italian parliament, on 23 May.

The new Italian government won the confidence vote by a margin of 344 votes to 268. The result was never in doubt, as the government has a majority of 70 seats in the lower house.

The proposed new Union alliance Italian Cabinet comprises members of the Olive Tree Movement (Ulivo) (itself composed of The Daisy (M), the Democrats of the Left (DS), and the European Republican Movement), the Communist Refoundation Party (PRC), the Rose in the Fist (RnP), the Party of Italian Communists (PCI), Italy of Values (IDV), the Federation of the Greens (FV), Popular Alliance-Democratic Union for Europe (UDEUR), the Pensioners' Party, the South Tyrolean People's Party, the Socialists, the Consumers' List, the League for Autonomy-Lombard Alliance, Autonomy-Liberty-Democracy, and the Veneto Front League.:
