Italy minister survives no-confidence vote

ROME (Reuters) - Italian Interior Minister Angelino Alfano survived a no- confidence vote on Friday, averting a political crisis that could have brought down the fragile coalition government of Prime Minister Enrico Letta.

Alfano, secretary of Silvio Berlusconi's center-right People of Freedom party (PDL) which governs in an uneasy partnership with its traditional rivals in Letta's center-left Democratic Party (PD), faced calls to resign over the hurried deportation of the family of a dissident Kazakh oligarch in May.

A senate vote defeated a no-confidence moment filed by the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement and the leftist Left Ecology Freedom (SEL) party by 226 votes to 55.
