Other members of Mr Berlusconi's centre-right ruling bloc appeared angry at Mr Prodi's declaration of victory.

"This is intolerable. What is this? A coup? It reminds me of South America. Auto proclamation (of victory) is constitutionally illegitimate," Industry Minister Claudio Scajola said.

It seems some people have a hard time seeing the difference between an Italy ruled by a former P2 member and South America. Scajola should be very careful about invoking such words. ;)
