(ANSA) - Rome, December 17 - Parliament finally managed to
fill three vacancies on Italy's Constitutional Court late on
Wednesday thanks to a deal between Premier Matteo Renzi's
Democratic Party (PD) and the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement
(M5S).
As a result jurists Augusto Barbera, Franco Modugno and
Giulio Prosperetti were elected by a joint session of lawmakers
of both houses of parliament at the 32nd attempt.
Silvio Berlusconi's opposition centre-right Forza Italia
(FI) party cried foul after being cut out of the deal and not
having a candidate that it nominated elected.
