  • Story Text: AT A PRESS CONFERENCE YESTERDAY (TUESDAY), SIGNOR MARIANO RUMOR, 53-YEAR OLD SECRETARY OF THE CHRISTIAN DEMOCRATIC PARTY, SAID HE WAS CONSIDERING A REQUEST FROM PRESIDENT GUISEPPE SARAGOT TO FORM A NEW COALITION GOVERNMENT.

    LATER IT WAS ANNOUNCED THAT SIGNOR RUMOR HAD AGREED TO TRY TO GIVE FIRM GOVERNMENT. DURING THE LAST SIX MONTHS, POLITICAL CRISIS AND MINORITY RULE HAVE BEEN ACCOMPANIED BY STRIKERS AND STUDENT DEMONSTRATIONS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.

    SIGNOR GIOVANNI LEONES RESIGNED AS PRIME MINISTER LAST TUESDAY TO FORCE THE FORMATION OF A STABLE ADMINISTRATION.

    SIGNOR RUMOR, A BACHELOR AND FORMER SCHOOLTEACHER FROM NORTHERN ITALY, IS ONE OF THE BEST EQUIPPED POLITICIANS TO ACHIEVE A RECONCILIATION BETWEEN THE CHRISTIAN DEMOCRATS AND THE SOCIALISTS WHICH IS THE ONLY ALLIANCE ABLE TO COMMAND A MAJORITY IN PARLIAMENT, POLITICAL OBSERVERS SAY.
