- Share via
ROME — President Francesco Cossiga dissolved Italy’s Parliament tonight and called a June election following the defeat of the country’s 10-day old minority government in a parliamentary confidence vote.
Official sources said the Cabinet of Christian Democrat Prime Minister Amintore Fanfani was expected to meet tonight to set the date for the balloting, which was almost certain to be June 14. If that date becomes impossible, they said, the election will be held June 21.
