Italian opposition politicians sweep vote for seven seats
Saudi Press Agency Published in Saudi Press Agency on 18 - 10 - 2004


Italy's center-left opposition dealt a setback
to Premier Silvio Berlusconi's coalition Monday by sweeping
by-elections for seven seats in the lower house of
parliament, including one vacated by Umberto Bossi, a
strong ally of the Italian leader.
All seven seats in the Chamber of Deputies went to
politicians in the center-left Olive Tree coalition,
according to results released by the Interior Ministry.
Before the vote, the center-left held four of those seats,
and Berlusconi's center-right alliance had three.
Berlusconi's coalition lost in Milan, the premier's power
base and the city where he made his fortune as a TV tycoon.
The voting district around Naples _ where the Italian
leader went to campaign this weekend _ also swung to the
left in a tight vote.
