意大利總理貝盧斯科尼
The Italian government is at risk of collapsing after Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's coalition allies in the Northern League party failed to reach an agreement over economic reforms.
意大利政府處於崩潰風險，在意大利總理貝盧斯科尼的北方聯盟黨未能與聯盟盟友達成一項經濟改革協議後。
The country's Northern League has threatened to pull out of Berlusconi's center-right coalition government over disputed pension reforms, The Financial Times reported.
金融時報報導，該國的北方聯盟對有爭議性的退休金改革，已威脅要退出貝盧斯科尼的中間偏右聯合政府。
Recent statements suggest that Umberto Bossi, the head of Italy's Northern League, could pull out of Berlusconi's governing coalition if his cabinet does not reach an agreement on economic measures.
最近的聲明提出，意大利北方聯盟的負責人翁博西可能退出貝盧斯科尼的執政聯盟，如果他的內閣沒有達成一項經濟措施的協議。
Bossi rejected proposals to increase Italy's pension age to 67 and warned that a crisis may be looming ahead for the country's government if a deal is not reached soon.
博西否決提案以增加意大利的領取養老金年齡至67歲，並對國家政府警告一項危機可能迫在眉睫，如果不很快達成一項協議。
Bossi's possible departure could pave the way for an interim government, which may be capable of easily pushing through economic measures.
博西的可能分手可開路給一個臨時政府，它可能能夠容易地推動經濟措施。
Berlusconi has been under increasing pressure to reform the country's pension age ahead of a key European summit planned on Wednesday.
貝盧斯科尼一直在越來越大的壓力下去改革該國的領取退休金年齡，在計劃於週三舉行的一個關鍵的歐盟首腦會議之前。
Earlier on Monday, Berlusconi called for an emergency cabinet meeting after EU leaders pressured him to restrain Italy's debt in order to stop a eurozone debt contagion.
EU members say they will not buy Italian bonds which are necessary to refinance the country's public debt, unless the retirement age is increased.
Rome has been pressured to implement economic reforms and budget cuts to reassure investors worried about the country's huge debt ratio that is second only to Greece.
There is a growing fear among EU leaders that Italy could be sucked into a crisis that has already claimed Greece, Ireland and Portugal.
Rome is facing a nearly 2 trillion euro debt that is 120 percent of its Gross Domestic Product.
