Renzi 'won't accept FI president veto'

(ANSA) - Rome, January 28 - Premier Matteo Renzi told a meeting of Senators for his centre-left Democratic Party (PD) that Silvio Berlusconi's Forza Italia is against the idea of a PD candidate becoming Italy's next president, ANSA sources said.
    But the premier added that he would not accept "vetoes" from the centre-right opposition group. "We had a civil meeting," Renzi said, referring to meeting with FI representatives on Tuesday at which Berlusconi did not take part. "They don't want anyone with a past as an activist in our party. We cannot accept vetoes".
