ITALY-PRODI-GOVERNMENT-CRISIS
Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi salutes the opposition as he leaves the lower house of parliament before the vote of confidence in Rome 23 January 2008. Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi put his political survival on the line, calling for a vote of confidence in his centre-left government after 20 months in power. The crisis was sparked when centrist Clemente Mastella resigned as justice minister last week and said his small UDEUR party would oppose Prodi in a vote of confidence. UDEUR's three votes have been crucial in the Senate, where the government's survival will now depend on the support of left-leaning senators-for-life, who have cast crucial votes on several occasions to prop up the centre-left.
