| Subject: Funny: Italy Bersani: PM job 'only for mentally ill' Wed Mar 27, 2013 8:57 pm | |
| The head of Italy's centre-left bloc has hit an impasse in his efforts to form a government and said only a mentally ill person would want to govern Italy now.
Pier Luigi Bersani was rebuffed by the anti-establishment Five Star Movement on Wednesday.
If he cannot form a coalition, fresh elections could be held in June.
Meanwhile caretaker Prime Minister Mario Monti has said he "can't wait" to leave office.
The political stalemate is delaying reforms that could help revive Italy's recession-hit, debt-laden economy.
Mr Bersani's Democratic Party narrowly won the elections last month but lacks the upper house majority needed to govern.
