Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta’s deputy finance chief expressed confidence in overcoming Silvio Berlusconi’s challenge, saying the former premier’s faction in parliament is splintering.
“In Berlusconi’s party, there are a number of parliament members responsible enough to understand the serious consequences of a crisis,” Deputy Finance Minister Stefano Fassina said today in an interview with Francine Lacqua on Bloomberg Television. “We are confident that we will have the strength for continuing with Letta’s government.”
