(ANSA) - Brussels, March 7 - French Finance Minister Pierre
Moscovici on Thursday expressed confidence that the leader of
Italy's Democratic Party (PD) would successfully create a new
government and bring stability to Italy.''I have faith (in Pier Luigi Bersani's ability) to find a formula to go towards political stability in Italy, while conserving European ideals at the same time,'' Moscovici said during a press conference at the European Parliament.
Separately, Moscovici said he was convinced Italy's election result - which ended with a strong showing for the anti-establishment and anti-austerity 5-Star Movement - was ''more an anti-crisis vote than an anti-Europe vote''. The French minister also said that the vote demonstrated that, when faced with strong austerity, it is important to ''always offer the prospect of hope to our peoples''.
