Il Giornale: "The Monti Government Is Increasingly Hanging By A Thread"
As predicted in our overnight summary piece titled, "Sentiment Shaken By Concerns Of Political Circus Returning To Italy" Europe appears set to be gripped by yet another political crisis, this time by the country that most forgot in 2012, with the attention focusing primarily on Spain and Greece. The reason is what some may call Berlusconi's revenge, who after being eliminated by the ECB in November 2011 when Draghi sent Italian bond spreads soaring, and made Berlusconi's departure a condition to returning normalcy in exchange for planting yet another Goldman tentacle in Italy, Mario Monti, has now shaken the credibility of his successor by having his party PDL abstain from a vote of confidence in favor of Monti's growth measures. The result, as Il Giornale reported moments ago, is that the "the government is increasingly hanging by a thread". It continues: 'Now Prime Minister Mario Monti is likely to no longer have the numbers in parliament. The majority creaks." Is this the end of the technocratic quiet in the austerity regimes? And if the people have said Basta to Goldman and its appointees, does this open the door wide for the likes of Berlusconi to retake the power and force Goldman to scramble to regain status quo "normalcy" for another several months just as every sellside firm has bet the ranch on a global renaissance in 2013?
From Il Giornale, Google translated:
The position of the PDL has created a strong nervousness among the ranks of the Democrats. "When the PDL decided to move out abstention by the majority, this means that the government no longer has the confidence of the majority of the halls of Parliament," he emphasized the group leader of the Democratic Party in the Senate Anna Finocchiaro denouncing "a political issue of great importance." "Today the trust has numbers that do not meet the majority of the Senate," he continued Finocchiaro that, despite not having a crystal ball, did not rule out the outcome "technically" bad for the government. And this was one consequence: "Monti must rise to the Quirinale." Satisfied, however, the Northern League. "Finally, the PDL has opened my eyes and decided not to support more government," said the leader of the Northern League Federico Bricolo the hope that "the PDL'm serious," and "continue on this road because this means that you can also open new political scenarios."
Because Europe didn't have enough moving pieces as is. While for now the government is not in danger of an imminent collapse, the EURUSD, which once again dipped below 1.3000 is certainly watching the developments out of Italy with great interest.

Bring back Silvio! Less talking, more bunga!
bunga never gets old-and neither do the whores. I heard that Hillary would try to sniff Silvio's finger when they would meet.
Could be hanging by a noose.
The EU....where broke countries promise to bail out other broke countries.
Snap bitchez
What?!?!
Cracks in the Goldman world domination plan?? Noooooo!
"After A Violent Confrontation Between Members Of The Monti Government And The Local Pissed Off Italian Population, Monti's Head Is Left Hanging By A Thread".
Is a far better headline ZHers. This fuckers time will come, mark my words, even my bloody mother has woken up...
This could be great for us.
If they start killing their inept/corrupt rulers, maybe ours will wake up, and WE won't need to.
If Monti (GS) goes, then so does Italy (out of the Euro).
I'm sure the Italian people will stick with Monti and give him support, considering that they voted him in.....
......oh, wait.
It's not like they ever where really productive. Like I said before, I fully remember the vacationtrips and the locals constantly making jokes over there about their European sponsor who picked up every bill twice over.
It's not in their culture to work hard.
They don't have the trained workforce.
The infrastructure isn't there.

I lived in Sicily for three years and traveled extensively throughout Italy and I never remember anybody working that hard. La Dolce Vita bitches!
Looks like Goldman needs to buy him more seats in parliment.
Can something just happen already?
nothing will happen, this is like a soap opera that never ends. Just when you think their is an end they introduce new characters to keep the show going.

Scary but true.
Re: "the government is increasingly hanging by a thread"
I'm increasingly wanting to see government hanging by a rope.
Would a beautiful Italian woman bunga with Monti? Case closed.
just as every sellside firm has bet the your ranch on a global renaissance in 2013?
Fixed it for you.

Have him out, crash that damn euro and let's have that big fat reset ! (but not right now please, let's wait another 6 months up to a year please)
