  • Surge in borrowing costs

    Italian comedian-turned-politician Beppe Grillo, whose Five-Star Movement (M5S) defied expectations to come third in last weekend's elections, has ruled out a coalition with the centre-left.
    Pier Luigi Bersani's Democratic Party (PD) won a majority in the Chamber of Deputies but fell short in the Senate.
    Mr Grillo told the BBC he expected fresh elections within a year.
    The inconclusive polls have left Italy in political deadlock and pushed up borrowing costs for the government.
    'Stalker' On his blog, Mr Grillo called Mr Bersani a "dead man talking" and a political stalker.
    He told the BBC he believed the two main blocs on the centre-left and centre-right would come to an agreement, and that his Five-Star Movement would be in opposition.
    The M5S would decide on a case-by-case basis whether to support specific legislation, Mr Grillo said, adding that he should be thanked for giving angry people hope.
    Meanwhile, a Germany opposition leader has made waves by describing Mr Grillo and the former Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi, as "clowns".
    The Social Democratic Party's candidate for chancellor, Peer Steinbrueck, did not name them but said he was "appalled that a pair of clowns [had] won" the Italian elections.
    Italian President Giorgio Napolitano cancelled a dinner with Mr Steinbrueck after learning of his remarks, made at a political meeting in Potsdam, outside Berlin.
    Mr Berlusconi's People of Freedom (PdL) came second in the election for the Chamber of Deputies, and first in the Senate.
