BBC News | EUROPE | Berlusconi to sue The Economist ()

  „There are just over two weeks until Italians vote in a general election, and the incumbent left-wing coalition is beginning to narrow Mr Berlusconi's lead in the polls. A poll for the publishing group L'Espresso shows Mr Berlusconi's centre-right bloc on 36%, while the left headed by former Rome mayor Francesco Rutelli had risen to 32% - up from 27% a week earlier. On these results, Mr Berlusconi would have to rely on the support of the far-right Northern League party to gain control of parliament. However almost one third of voters are still undecided.“
