Three-time premier Silvio
Berlusconi on Thursday said sitting Premier Matteo Renzi was
turning into a taxman.
"He started off as a nice demolition man," Berlusconi told
Italian talk show Porta a Porta, referring to Renzi's nickname
as a fast-moving reformer.
"Now, little by little, he's transforming into a nice
taxman".
Berlusconi, whose center-right Forza Italia party is in
opposition to Renzi's center-left Democratic Party, was aiming
to discredit the premier's reputation after passing 10 billion
euros in tax cuts for low-income earners.
