Italy's divided parliament has begun voting for a new president with the centre left alliance led by Pier Luigi Bersani deeply split over the choice of former Senate speaker Franco Marini as their candidate.
ReplyDeleteBersani nominated Marini, a prominent Catholic and former head of the moderate CISL union, in order to forge a broad accord on the presidency with centre-right leader Silvio Berlusconi and the small centrist grouping of caretaker Prime Minister Mario Monti.
But the choice provoked fury in Bersani's Democratic Party (PD) and an open revolt by his rival, Matteo Renzi, the 38-year-old mayor of Florence.
He said a vote for Marini would be a "disservice to the country".
