Centre-left leader tells Monti he won't drop SEL (see related stories) (ANSA) - Rome, February 6 - Centre-left leader Pier Luigi Bersani told outgoing Premier Mario Monti that the Democratic Party (PD) would not drop its alliance with the left-wing SEL group in order to work with the former European commissioner's platform after this month's election.

"My alliance is my alliance and no one touches it," Bersani said after Monti suggested the PD would have to drop SEL to form a post-election pact with his reform ticket backed by centrist parties.
