Italian Chamber of Deputies To Vote On 2012 Budget Law

ROME, ITALY - NOVEMBER 12: Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi (C), Minister for Equal Oppurtunities, Mara Carfagna (L) and Economy Minister, Giulio Tremonti, attend the vote for the 2012 Budget Law at the Chambers of Deputies, on November 12, 2011 in Rome, Italy. Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has agreed to resign after Tuesday's vote on the 2012 budget, where he managed to muster only 308 of the 630 votes in the lower house of parliament, which is expected to allow his government to be replaced by a technical government lead by Mario Monti. Pressure is mounting amidst fears that Italy could become the next victim of the Euro-zone debt crisis with the government's borrowing costs rising to a new record of 6.74% on Tuesday.
