The political deadlock in Italy and the uncertainty it has brought has caused concern throughout Europe, especially in light of the recent issues in Cyprus reawakening fears of the euro zone debt crisis. Pier Luigi Bersani, the center-left leader, holds the largest bloc in parliament but is unable to govern without support from other parties. However, there is currently no indication of any possible agreement with either Silvio Berlusconi's center-right alliance or Beppe Grillo's 5-Star Movement. If no compromise is reached, Italy may be faced with a caretaker government and possibly new elections as early as June. Bersani is proposing a limited package of reforms in hopes of gaining support, but the chances of a minority government surviving long-term are slim. Italy's struggling economy and high levels of unemployment make a prolonged political crisis a dangerous prospect. The current crisis has only deepened hostilities between the parties, with Grillo warning against cooperation and Berlusconi making demands in exchange for his support. Street protests are already being planned by Berlusconi's supporters to protest what they see as a political campaign against him.
