Silvio Berlusconi has gained an even stronger hand in Italy this week, following the resignation of the leader of opposition party. Walter Veltroni stepped down as leader of the Democratic party after he was defeated in local election for a government position. The victory was unexpected for Berlusconi, who hand picked the candidate that defeated Veltroni. Berlusconi defeated Veltroni in last years national election to win back his Prime Minister seat.
With no apparent leader of the opposition party, Berlusconi is unopposed. Local political analysts believe his reign will only get stronger with no one in his way to stop him. Berlusconi holds so much political power and holds large stakes in media corporations, giving him unparalleled control.
It may be a long time before there will be anyone to rise up and overthrow the power of Berlusconi.
