Finanial Times Oct5, London Crisis in Italy as Prodi loses Communist support By James Blitz in Rome Italy was last night plunged into a political crisis after the country's Communists voted to withdraw the parliamentary support they have given to the government since the 1996 election. At the end of a two-day meeting in Rome, Reconstructed Communism voted by an overwhelming majority to break away from Italy's first left-leaning government and vote against its budget. The decision threatens the government of prime minister Romano Prodi less than three months before Italy's entry into the European single currency. The government, the second longest lasting in Italy since 1945, relies on the Communists' 34 representatives in the Italian chamber of deputies for its majority. Mr Prodi is expected to go to the chamber of deputies this week to verify whether he has a majority. If he does not, he could go to President Oscar Luigi Scalfaro to offer his resignation. Mr Scalfaro could then ask him to return to parliament to find fresh support. But Mr Prodi reiterated at the weekend he would not reform his government by doing a deal with around 30 neo-Christian Democrats led by Francesco Cossiga, the former president. Mr Prodi said the tradition of changing the governing majority in the course of a parliament without consulting the voters was "the enemy of Italy". The Communists' decision has triggered warfare within its own ranks amid fears it will damage the sense of triumph among the European left in the wake of Gerhard Schröder's election victory in Germany last Sunday. The campaign to break with Mr Prodi was led by Fausto Bertinotti, the Communists' militant general secretary. He was opposed by Armando Cossuta, the party's president, who fears that if the Prodi government fell it could open the way for the return of Forza Italia, the conservative party led by Silvio Berlusconi.
