Centre-right Forza Italia (FI)
leader Silvio Berlusconi on Thursday warned against a democratic
Party (PD)-5-Star Movement (M5S) government after government
consultations with President Sergio Mattarella.
Berlusconi said "no to swindle governments" which were formed
of "incompatible" elements.
He said that with a leftwing government "there is the risk of
a wealth tax".
The three-time ex-premier, 83, said that after the
"adventuring" of the last M5S-League government, a "solid and
respected" government was needed.
He said FI had proposed a "centre-right model that governs in
very many municipalities and the majority of Italian regions and
which today is the natural majority of the Italians".
He said there should either be a centre-right majority or
fresh elections.
FI's partner at a local level and former national partner the
League is pressing for fresh elections.
