(ANSA) - Rome, May 20 - Centre-left Democratic Party (PD)
and Radical Party MP Roberto Giachetti was admitted to hospital

threatened closure of Radio Radicale.
Giachetti, 58, a former Rome mayoral candidate, is protesting
government plans to withdraw funding for Radio Radicale's
coverage of parliamentary debates.
He was admitted after doctors found "clinical signs of
dehydration and hypotension with marked astheny".
Also Monday Radio Radicale Director Alessio Falconio said
unless the convention with the government is extended when it
elapses tomorrow, they will have to stop paying their staff.
