Those who attack the ruling
centre-left democratic Party (PD) weaken the only "bulwark
against populism," PD leader Matteo Renzi said Wednesday, citing
as populists the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement, former
centre-right premier Silvio Berlusconi and the anti-euro,
anti-migrant Northern League (LN). Ex-premier Renzi said only
the PD could save Italy from a victory by an alliance between
Berlusconi and LN leader Matteo Salvini, or from a victory by
the M5S. Renzi went on to say the PD's goal was full employment
and the way to create jobs was to cut taxes, the "most
revolutionary" thing that a leftwing party can do.
