Berlusconi on the brink over emergency growth ... - Insurance For Less

MILAN – Pressure built on Italy’s embattled Premier Silvio Berlusconi as he struggled Tuesday to muster support for an emergency growth plan, which the EU wants within hours and which could cost the tenacious leader his job.

Berlusconi has survived scandals, court cases and dozens of confidence votes, but experts say this economic plan will be one of the most critical tests yet of is grasp of the country’s leadership.

Eurozone governments are trying to come up with a comprehensive plan to tackle their debt crisis by Wednesday. As part of that, they demanded that Italy draft new economic measures, arguing it would be pointless to protect the country from market turmoil if it didn’t pull its own weight.

But Berlusconi has found little support for the demanded measures. He faces resistance from his powerful ally, the Northern League, a minority coalition party led by Umberto Bossi and without whose support his government falls.

“Berlusconi has an immovable object at home which is Bossi and the Norther league, and an unstoppable force abroad which is the European Union, so he’s in a very very difficult position,” said James Walston, a political science professor at American University in Rome.

A Cabinet meeting to draft the emergency growth measures ended Monday evening in silence — a clear indication of discord within the government majority.

The European Union wants Italy to raise its standard pension age from 65 to 67, change the legal system to encourage investment and pass other reforms to improve growth. All are measures that have been talked about for years in successive governments, but there has been little political will to see through the unpopular decisions.

The Northern League, whose constinuency is made up of workers in productive northern Italy, staunchly opposes raising the pension age.

But it’s a move that partners like Germany view as critical. Germany is raising its pension age to 67 for anyone born after 1964 and Chancellor Angela Merkel will have a hard time explaining to voters at home why Europe’s largest economy should be ready to help countries whose workers retire earlier.
