The crisis worsens:

The UDEUR party which I spoke of has just announced its complete withdrawal of support from the government, which could be fatal if he is consistent. He claims to have sent a letter explaining it.

Mastella, lasciamo maggioranza
No anche ad appoggio esterno al governo
(ANSA) - ROMA, 21 GEN - 'Lasciamo la maggioranza, e' finita un'esperienza'.Lo afferma Mastella nella conferenza stampa dopo l'ufficio politico dell'Udeur. Mastella ha quindi risposto con un 'no' quando gli e' stato chiesto se l'Udeur dara' l'appoggio esterno al governo. L'ex Guardasigilli ha riferito di aver gia' comunicato questo orientamento al presidente del Consiglio Romano Prodi con una lettera.

Mastella: "we're leaving the majority"
No to outside support of the government.

- "We're leaving the majority, an experience has finished" affirms Mastella in a press conference next to the political office of the UDEUR. Mastella has thus responded with a "no" qhen he was asked if Udeur would give outside support to the government. The ex-justice minister refers to have already communicated this to the Prime Minister Romano Prodi with a letter.

Now, usually I am skeptical about it (as I am now), for this guy is never consistent with anything he says. However, these are grave words to say...especially at this point with such a high crisis in the air.
