The Government handle to confidence vote debate on dozens of amending the law to curb, many League presented by them party of the opposition.
Monti's predecessor, Silvio Berlusconi, had called a vote of confidence, saying that his PDL party-the largest in the Parlament-the Government of a sense of responsibility, would not support because it with all the victims of the Italians asked agrees to.
RECESSION
Both Berlusconi PDL and the centre left party are concerned about parts of the law, but can not sabotage the Government for fear of unleashing economic disaster, which would probably lead to Italy its debt in arrears.

Such a bailout for the much larger Italian economy would likely overwhelm Europe's defense, which is why the country is in the front of the euro zone crisis.
