The European People's Party
(EPP) is giving "very clear support" to Silvio Berlusconi's
election programme after the ex-premier and Forza Italia leader
presented it in Brussels on Monday, EPP Secretary-General
Antonio Lopez said.
"Italy is fundamental for us, the southern part of the EU
needs to have a bigger impact on the decisions that are being
taken in Europe," Lopez said.
"This will be possible with the new, future government".
He added that the EPP was Berlusconi's "home".
