Renzi said Tuesday dissenting
members of his Democratic Party (PD) were free to leave if they
wished but warned that a new left-wing formation could not be a
partner in government.
"Those who go to join (Maurizio) Landini, leader of the
influential metalworkers' union Fiom, (Susanna) Camusso (leader
of Italy's largest trade union confederation Cgil), (Nichi)
Vendola (leader of the small Left Ecology Freedom party),
(Stefano) Fassina (ex economy minister and former PD member who
left the party in disagreement with Renzi) are free to do so. I
don't follow the logic of the old Italian Communist party: never
enemies on the left. With this left it is certainly impossible
to govern," Renzi said in an interview with veteran TV
journalist Bruno Vespa.
