Resignation of Minister of Internal and vice-premier Angelino Alfano (Secretary of PDL, People of the Freedom).

Before:

The Minister Alfano is accused of not stopping or did not know the expulsion of wife and daughter of a dissident of Kazakhstan.
Alfano has exposed yesterday in the Senate a relation which he said he had not been informed of the incident.

SEL (Left Ecology Freedom of Nichi Vendola, governor of Apulia) and M5S (Five Star Movement of Beppe Grillo) filed a motion of distrust for Alfano.
In the Democratic Party is in progress a debate on resignation of Alfano. The men close of Florence Mayor Matteo Renzi push for yes to distrust.

[Senator Cris]

Yes, Angelino Alfano is the national secretary of PDL (the president is Silvio Berlusconi).
He become a member of the Letta government. He is Minister of Internal and vicepremier.

[Senator Cris]

His resignation from his government position

[Senator Cris]

Alfano's not resigning. The no-confidence motion failed and Berlusconi has made it clear he will stay. No idea what you are talking about, Cris.

My post was of 17 July. Yesterday the Senate rejected the distrust, I was just about to write.

[Senator Cris]

Tonight or tomorrow the ruling on the TV rights of Mediaset .
Berlusconi risks imprisonment and disqualification from holding public office by 3 to 5 years.

[Senator Cris]

Berlusconi : confirmed a sentence of 4 years imprisonment (it will make a year of imprisonment for the "indulto" and will serve them or under house arrest or community service). Disqualification from public office (ineligibility) to be redefined within the year, a maximum conceivable of 3 years.

[Senator Cris]

This verdect is the final.
With a year of imprisonment and the interdiction to be redefined is politically dead.

[Senator Cris]
