Periskopi(8 years ago)
(8 years ago)After Sunday's general elections, which did not produce a clear result, Italians do not know who will rule. According to recent polls, one in three citizens of across the Adriatic neighbour would prefer the agreement between the “5 movement. Stars” and “North Legend”, scenario that would lead to creation [...]
And while Matteo Salvin excludes such an option, “5 The stars” of Louis di Maios can join forces with the Democratic Party, as requires a faction within it. That's exactly what Matteo Renzi is trying to avoid with the postponement of his resignation until after the government is established, to make sure there is no deal with Di Maion. But Silvio Berlusconi insists the government should form the right centre.
I'll support Salvin, he says, and I'll be a guarantee of the coalition. Sunday's vote was not an internal race between us, insists “cavalier”, adding that the coalition's success is an important development, as it will allow the change of policies the country has been facing in recent years.
Asked whether Salvin has the right to be submitted as a candidate for prime minister, Berlusconi replied that he will respect the pre-election pact by the end and will give without hesitation to the head of “Lega Nord” his support in efforts to form the new executive.
