Premier Matteo Renzi told a
meeting of Senators for his centre-left Democratic Party (PD)
that Silvio Berlusconi's Forza Italia is against the idea of a
PD candidate becoming Italy's next president, ANSA sources said.
But the premier added that he would not accept "vetoes" from the
centre-right opposition group. "We had a civil meeting," Renzi
said, referring to meeting with FI representatives on Tuesday at
which Berlusconi did not take part. "They don't want anyone with
a past as an activist in our party. We cannot accept vetoes".
