According to The Independent, Italy’s former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has put together a new administration after resigning his post on Wednesday night. Reporter Peter Popham writes, “his new administration…may look remarkably like the old one. The policies of the new government may also not differ much.” Popham reports that the new cabinet is scheduled to be sworn into office tomorrow morning, the 23rd of April.

The results of Italy’s regional elections at the beginning of April led to Berlusconi’s resignation two days ago. Italian President Carlo Azeglio Ciampi faced two options: he could request Berlusconi to form a new cabinet, or he would be forced to call a general election ahead of schedule.

Detractors of Berlusconi’s agenda are concerned that “current policies are skewed in favor of [Italy’s] more prosperous north,” although Berlusconi claims that the focus of the new government “will center on supporting businesses, defending families’ purchasing power and a concrete plan for the south to encourage the creation of new jobs.”
