The arrangement leaves the Christian Democrats with the Senate presidency and aims to ease cabinet formation despite ongoing political tension over Communist participation in government. The move comes as Italy faces 7 percent unemployment and 35 percent inflation with calls to liberalize abortion laws and expand rights.
