Former premier and leader of the
opposition centre-right Forza Italia party Silvio Berlusconi
said Friday that Prime Minister Matteo Renzi should leave
politics if the 'No' vote wins in Sunday's referendum on the
Constitutional reform.
Otherwise, he said, Renzi would lose all credibility.
Berlusconi is a supporters of the 'No' campaign and called on
all Italians to vote.
"Staying at home means hurting yourself and hurting Italy,"
he wrote in a Facebook post, urging everyone to vote "to defend
the interests of us all. We must all vote for ourselves, for our
future and that of our children, for Italy and all Italians."
The former prime minister also said Friday that he had
complete faith in President Sergio Mattarella's common sense and
that he admired his caution.
