Berlusconi I cabinet
The Berlusconi I cabinet ruled Italy from May 10, 1994 to January 17, 1995. Silvio Berlusconi's center-right electoral alliance Polo delle Libertà won the parliamentary elections at the end of March 1994. The first government of Prime Minister Berlusconi had to contend with significant budget problems, which the independent Treasury Minister Lamberto Dini wanted to address with a controversial pension reform. The coalition failed after the head of the Lega Nord , Umberto Bossi , started negotiations in November 1994 with Massimo D'Alema from the KPI successor party Partito Democratico della Sinistra (PDS) and with the central politician Rocco Buttiglione , which then led to the formation of the Dini's existing cabinet made possible for non-party experts .
