Talk:Italian PM Berlusconi resigns to form stronger coalition

"The Prime Minister pledged to form a stronger coalition government than the present one, which has been weakened by a sluggish economy and the Prime Minister’s close relationship with George Bush and the war in Iraq."

Is this opinion or fact?--Tsal 17:21, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I'm not the one who wrote it, but the opposition won regional elections mainly thanks to those themes, so I wouldn't consider it too wrong. Yet I can see these are my opinions... ^^ CarrKnightCarrKnight

But Berlusconi's popularity has declined as the Italian economy has slipped and opposition to Italian involvement in the U.S.-led war in Iraq has increased.

Berlusconi, a staunch ally of U.S. President George Bush, said last month Italy's 3,000 troops in Iraq may begin a partial withdrawal this fall. CNN. --HiFlyer 17:51, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
