...resigned as Premier three weeks ago, Italy's big Christian Democratic Party seemed hopelessly divided against itself and listing to the left. The Christian Democrats lack 26 votes of a majority in the Chamber of Deputies, and Fanfani was kept in office only by the support of Giuseppe Saragat's Social Democrats. When some of the Social Democrats, hoodwinked by Red-lining Pietro Nenni's latest simulated split with the Communists, began to negotiate a deal with Nenni's Socialists, Fanfani was finished. After days of maneuvering, President Giovanni Gronchi (who would like...
...government could be expected to be as pro-West as before, but its makeup showed Fanfani's determination to break with Italy's postwar middle-of-the-road pattern. To his only ally in the coalition government, Giuseppe Saragat's anti-Communist Socialists, Fanfani gave four crucial posts in social experiment-the Ministries of Finance, Labor, State Participation and Communications.

First the Christian Democrats must choose one of their own to be Premier...
Nine months ago, in his eagerness to achieve "reunification" with Giuseppe Saragat's Social Democratic Party, devious Pietro Nenni formally broke off the decade-old "unity of action" pact between his Socialists and Italy's Communist Party. While the skeptical claimed he would never make a final break with the Communists, and the hopeful predicted he would, Nenni skillfully teased the Social Democrats and did neither. Last week Nenni settled all doubts. "Any social progress must necessarily enjoy the support of the Communists," proclaimed...
