ITALY'S NEW COALITION GOVERNMENT INCLUDES PRO-LIFERS
ROME, May 23, 2001 (LSN.ca) - The center-right coalition, elected with a majority government in Italy May 13, includes pro-lifers. The coalition called Casa delle libertˆ or 'House of Liberties' is headed by Silvio Berlusconi, media tycoon and former prime minister. The coalition is pro-business, against big government and socially conservative.
The socially conservative element comes from the influence of the Christian Democrats who have encouraged the coalition to honor life and family. During the campaign Prime Minister Berlusconi called "for a more convinced defence of life". Recalling this campaign promise, Monsignor Giuseppe Betori, secretary of the Italian bishops' conference, has urged Mr Berlusconi to protect the lives of unborn children by law.
