STORYLINE
A day after Italy's president was re-elected to an unprecedented second term, the leader of an anti-establishment movement says citizens' patience with
traditional parties is wearing thin.
Beppe Grillo, a comic who heads the Five Star Movement, has dismissed President Giorgio Napolitano's re-election as a bid by doomed parties to hang onto power, and called it "a coup, a little, sly, institutional coup."
Thousands of his party's supporters gathered in central Rome in protest.
Grillo, whose party is the No. 3 bloc in Parliament, predicted in Rome on Sunday that traditional parties would last a year.
The mainstream blocs are still bickering over how to form the next government two months after inconclusive national elections.
Napolitano was re-elected on Saturday after Parliament's mainstream parties couldn't agree on a new personality.
Party leaders persuaded the 87-year-old to serve again in hopes of easing the hostility that has thwarted formation of a new government.
Napolitano could tap someone to try to form a governing coalition this week.
Among those beaming and applauding Napolitano's re-election was Berlusconi. The billionaire businessman fell short in a comeback attempt in February elections for a fourth term as premier.
The conservative leader is eager to have a government that might rein in Italian prosecutors whom he contends sides with the left and is responsible for his judicial woes, including a trial in Milan for allegedly paying an underage teenage woman for sex. Berlusconi has proclaimed his innocence.
Also lobbying the president was Democratic Party leader Pier Luigi Bersani, whose lawmakers cast blank ballots on Saturday morning in a stalling tactic as he struggled to find a candidate supported by a wide consensus.
