Italian left in large anti-Berlusconi rally

[FarCenter]

AFP - Tens of thousands of demonstrators gathered in Rome Saturday for a rally organised by the main left-wing party to demand Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's resignation.

"Silvio out" was the rallying cry for the large crowd that took part in the rally organised by the Democratic Party, the country's main opposition movement.

Some demonstrators poured scorn on the prime minister after G-20 leaders humiliatingly put Italy's struggling economy under surveillance, amid a lack of trust in Berlusconi's reform pledges.

At the summit in Cannes, the billionaire prime minister played down the gravity of the economic crisis with a trademark quip, claiming that "restaurants are full and the planes fully booked."

"I go to restaurants... to do the washing up," read one banner at Saturday's mass demonstration.

1. I was just watching Canary Islands news (I love the net!)

for volcano news and saw a large segment on that. Most of the crowd was young, unlike the crowds protesting here.

Berlusconi is hanging by a thread and he knows it, one reason his behavior is getting even more bizarre.

Silvio should spend more time with his fly zipped.
