Italy's centre-left Democratic Party (PD) asked for an urgent change of government to give a boost to reforms on Thursday, in a decision that could trigger the resignation of Prime Minister Enrico Letta.
Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta's cabinet won an expected confidence vote in parliament on Wednesday, proving a more solid majority for his reform plans.
Italy's awaited new government took office on Sunday amid hopes of urgent reforms against recession and fears of civil disorder, as two police officers and a passerby were shot and injured during what was supposed to be a day of celebration.
Road for forming the new government was finally opened on Wednesday after Enrico Letta, a center-left politician named by President Giorgio Napolitano as the new Italian prime minister, said he will get started immediately to overcome impasse.
