Baku-APA. Italy's Prime Minister Enrico Letta on Tuesday rejected the resignations of five ministers of former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's center-right party, APA reports quoting reuters.
Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Angelino Alfano, Minister of Agriculture Nunzia Di Girolamo, Minister of Health Beatrice Lorenzin, Minister of Infrastructure and Transport Maurizio Lupi and Minister of Constitutional Reforms Gaetano Quagliariello handed in their resignations from the coalition government on Monday.
Italian President Giorgio Napolitano said after talks with Letta that a confidence vote scheduled on Wednesday must bolster the government amid threats from Berlusconi to bring it down despite an increasing rift in his party.
Napolitano and Letta said the confidence vote should be on budget and key reforms, including changing a controversial voting law, to be carried out by a government that should be no longer "precarious."
