Former premier Mario Monti on
Tuesday rejected ex-premier Matteo Renzi's depiction of him as
implementing a 'Dracula'-like taxation programme.
"Me a Dracula...I feel sorry for Renzi, he should be more
modest," said Monti, a former European trust-buster who was
premier from late 2011 to early 2013, enacting shock therapy on
an ailing economy and pulling Italy back from the brink of a
Greece-style crisis.
Monti also came out against an early election and said "Renzi
should not run things for himself".
In other remarks, Monti said US President Donald Trump was
founding a "Nationalist International" and said the EU should
not accept his nomination of Ted Malloch as US ambassador to the
EU.
