Editing Ferruccio Parri (section)

===Prime Minister of Italy===
After the end of [[World War II]], he was appointed leader of a government supported, among the others, by the Action Party, [[Democrazia Cristiana|Christian Democracy]] (''Democrazia Cristiana''; DC), the [[Italian Communist Party]] (''Partito Comunista Italiano''; PCI), the [[Italian Socialist Party]] (''Partito Socialista Italiano''; PSI) and the [[Italian Liberal Party]] (''Partito Liberale Italiano''; PLI). A centrist, he had been chosen as the compromise leader of a compromise Cabinet. He was also the Minister of the Interior (in charge of the police).<ref name=tim020745/> When the Liberals withdrew their support from the coalition government, Parri resigned from his position.<ref name=tim031245>[https://web.archive.org/web/20111221235112/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,852489,00.html "Split"], ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]'', 3 December 1945.</ref>

At the time, Parri warned: "Beware of civil war&nbsp;... of reopening the door to fascism.&nbsp;... There are rumors that Washington and London have no trust in me. The real reason for this lack of trust is that Italy has only a fragile front of antifascism.&nbsp;... I hope my successors will follow the only worthy policy for Italy: left of center".<ref name=tim031245/>
