Pier Luigi Bersani, leader of the winning coalition in Italy’s elections, appealed to populist Beppe Grillo to show he’s willing to help govern after the inconclusive vote forced leaders into coalition building.
Bersani fell short of the Senate majority needed to form a government, while Grillo’s 5 Star movement captured more than a quarter of the vote in its first national election with a platform that rejects collaboration with established parties.
