Italian center-right, populists join forces to elect parliament speakers

 

The newly elected Senate speaker Maria Elisabetta Alberti Casellati votes at the senate in Rome, Italy, on March 24, 2018. Italy's center-right bloc and the anti-establishment Five Star Movement joined forces Saturday to elect a speaker for each chamber of parliament, in what could be a test run for a possible government alliance in the wake of an inconclusive March 4 general election.
