意大利前总理西尔维奥·贝卢斯科尼表示将在明年大选中争取东山再起。Allen Johnston报道。
Over the last few days, it became clear that Mr. Berlusconi would be attempting a comeback and now he's confirmed it. Speaking to reporters in Milan, he said he was returning to the frontline of party politics out of a sense of responsibility to the country. However, Mr. Berlusconi's many opponents will see his effort to return to power in a cynical light. They will argue that he is simply intent on staying in the political game in order to be able to defend his personal business and other interests.
过去几天的情势表明贝卢斯科尼显然想再度回归,如今他已确认此事。他在米兰接受记者采访时说,出于对国家的责任感,他将回归政党政治。然而,贝卢斯科尼的许多对手都愤世嫉俗地看待他的这番努力。他们称他只是想继续进行政治游戏,以捍卫个人的商业等利益。
The Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti says he plans to resign. He's told President Giorgio Napolitano he no longer feels he has the confidence of parliament after Silvio Berlusconi’s Freedom People Party withdrew its support from his government earlier this week. Mr. Monti has been heading a non-partisan and technocratic government for a year.
