Brawl Breaks Out at Italian Parliament

Discussions over economic reform came to blows between two Italian deputies during parliament today. POW! Members of the ruling right-center party, Northern League, fought with members of the opposing FLI (Future and Freedom for Italy) party over sarcastic comments aired on television regarding the Northern League leader��s wife.

Parliament had to be interrupted for several minutes after the dispute to call everyone back to order. Reuters quotes UDC party member Amedeo Ciccanti as saying ��There is a climate of violence and intolerance. We need to calm down because Italians are more irritated than us about this.��

Italy (NYSE:EWI) continues to hammer out their own debt crisis issues. League leader, Umberto Bossi, has firmly rejected European leaders�� reform suggestion of scaling back Italy��s generous pension plan. Italy��s Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi, will travel to Brussels today with a proposal on cutting debt and sparking life in the Italian economy, however many critics believe the more drastic measures are necessary.
