Italy- Prime Minister Has Problems

D'Alema and Schröder feel pressure as anti-war sentiment grows

FROM RICHARD OWEN IN ROME

MASSIMO D'ALEMA, the Italian Prime Minister, faces a critical parliamentary vote on the conflict in Kosovo today against a background of growing anti-war protests across the country which threaten to topple him and split Nato.

Virulently anti-war Communist members of Signor D'Alema's fragile centre-left coalition are demanding an immediate end to the bombing as the Nato campaign enters its fourth week with no end in sight and more allied warplanes arriving in Italy. Diplomats said that, if the alliance moved to a land offensive, the D'Alema coalition would collapse, placing Nato's continued use of Italian bases in question.

Signor D'Alema survived a debate on Kosovo at the start of the conflict only by promising to "make all efforts to restore peace as swiftly as possible". Italy has led the humanitarian relief effort in Albania - a former Italian colony. But now the patience of his Communist allies is running out and anti-war demonstrations are not only turning violent, but also becoming openly anti-American.

There is still bitter feeling against the United States here after the acquittal in February of a US Marine pilot whose jet sent a cable car plunging to the ground at Cavalese, near Aviano, last year, killing 20 people.
