Calls for Letta's resignation, sparked by a junior coalition party
head "hoping he was ready to step down," have escalated into more open
speculation that the Italian government could collapse within days.
Following the failure today of a 'strategy meeting' with center-right
coalition partners,
Renzi's pro-job-creation and electoral law reforms agenda is gaining consensus.
While Letta has stated he will move ahead with his government (and
address the public later today), Renzi warned, via Twitter, that he will
talk tomorrow afternoon on the way forward.
