The Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has announced his intention to resign, but he says he won't go until after the Italian parliament has approved a package of reforms to shore up Italy's economy, which is badly affected by the eurozone debt crisis. Alan Johnston reports from Rome.
意大利总理贝卢斯科尼宣布将辞职,不过他表示,要等到意大利议院通过一项改革意大利经济的一篮子计划后才下台,意大利在欧元区债务危机中受很大影响。Alan Johnston报道。
Silvio Berlusconi has confirmed that he intends to resign. Speaking on television, he said that he would step down after parliament accepts a raft of economic reforms that he's proposed. These are expected to go before parliament in about two weeks' time. There's been speculation in Rome that an interim government of technocrats might be ushered in if Mr Berlusconi's administration were to fall, but he clearly opposes any such step. Mr Berlusconi said that in his view fresh elections were the only way forward.
