Juncker 'worried' by Italian elections
By EUobserver
European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker said Thursday the EU should be prepared for the "worst scenario" of having no "operational government" in Italy after the 4 March elections. He told a Brussels audience that he was "more worried" by the Italian vote than by the German Social Democrats vote on the coalition agreement, with results the same day. He warned of "a strong reaction of financial markets," according to AFP.
