Italy’s likely next leader Pier Luigi Bersani is pledging to uphold Italy’s current economic commitments and not unravel the current Monti reforms if he’s elected
“We will respect the very stringent commitments taken…and we will take them on as our own,” Mr. Bersani said in an interview at a small hotel in his hometown in Italy’s northern Emilia Romagna region over the weekend.
Italy’s now looking to hold elections as early as February, expediting Monti’s departure and opening up a few months of political uncertainty as the country looks to get back on a democratic footing
