Cabinet Balotelli (Istalia)

Cabinet Vespa-Baldassare IV was the fourth Istalian cabinet led by the leader of the Union of Liberal Democrats Hugo Vespa-Baldassare, once again appointed by President Oscar Lepera (ULD), at the fourth term him too.

This time, Vespa-Baldassare rejected to form a new government with PNI and DHI, the latter rebranded Republican Party of Istalia, too much focused on issues which ULD could not support and which caused several problem for the Prime Minister to carry out the objectives of the ULD.

For this reason ULD, excluded the Nationalists to reduce the weight of the conservatives, proposed to the moderate force of the left, Radical Alliance, Green Party and Labour Party, to form a Government in coalition with ULD and the Republican Party.

The agreement reached by the center-left parties, however, triggered the reactions of the "Socialist Area" coalition, formed by Communists and People's Party, which accused the center-left parties to have betrayed the electorate who, at the elections, assured the majority to the leftist parties.

This government, however, showed to have serious limit in establishing a common government program due to the heterogeneity of the member parties and furthermore the President of the Council himself, after 14 years as head of government, showed signs of exhaustion. For this reason in 4356 Hugo Vespa-Baldassare announed his intention to resign, decided to retire also from active politics. Thus in november President Lepera, accepting the decision of his long lasting prime minister, presented a new cabinet to the parliament, led by Anastasio Balotelli (ULD), which received the confidence in March 4357.
