 Berlusconi gets rival's support in key vote
 
 
 
 
 
 
ROME (AFP) - – A breakaway group from Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's centre-right coalition said it would back him in a confidence vote due later Wednesday, making it almost certain he would win.
 
"We will not neglect our duty, we want to carry on till the end of the parliamentary term" ending in 2013, Italo Bocchino, parliamentary leader of the dissident group headed by lower house speaker Gianfranco Fini.
 
Deprived of a parliamentary majority following months of bitter infighting which culminated with Fini leaving the coalition with 34 deputies and 10 senator, Berlusconi risked having to step down if he lost the vote.
 
"We will vote with the confidence motion," another of the rebels, Benedetto Della Vedova, said earlier.
 
The dissidents fell in line after a conciliatory speech by Berlusconi giving details of a new five-point government plan, including widespread tax cuts and other inducements aimed at attracting support.
