To be sure, the cohesiveness of l’Unione has strengthened: the two major parties (Democratici di Sinistra and Democrazia e Libertà - la Margherita) are united under the symbol of the olive tree, the other parties have endorsed a detailed 280-page government program, and the left-wing Partito della Rifondazione Comunista has given clear signs of moderation and loyalty to the coalition.
Jistěže, soudržnost l’Unione se zpevnila: dvě hlavní strany (Democratici di Sinistra a Democrazia e Libertà – la Margherita) se spojily pod symbolem olivovníku, ostatní strany schválily podrobný vládní program o 280 stranách a levicová Partito della Rifondazione Comunista vyslala jasné signály o umírnění a loajalitě vůči koalici.
