Italians will vote in a
stable government on March 4, European Parliament President
Antonio Tajani said Friday.
"(European Commission President Jean-Claude) Juncker
clarified his position (on the next government). Now we must
leave Italians free to decide, I'm convinced they will give
themselves a stable government," he said after speaking at an
informal EU summit.
"Never underestimate the intelligence of the Italian people,"
said the EP chief.
Tajani said he was taking no part in the Italian election
campaign but thanked centre-right leader Silvio Berlusconi for
his "flattering words" about Tajani's credentials as a possible
premier candidate.
Asked if Friday's would be his last EU summit as EP chief,
Tajani replied: "I hope to live until the next one".
