League wd take Italy out of euro (3)

(ANSA) - Rome, July 1 - Northern League leader Matteo Salvini said Friday if the rightwing populist party got into government it would take Italy out of the euro, without holding a referendum. "We don't need a referendum because it would be a massacre for the economy," he said. "I say that if the League gets into government, we leave. If you take three months for a referendum on the euro, there are people like Soros who massacre you". The League is currently the top party on the centre right, ahead of former premier Silvio Berlusconi's Forza Italia (FI) party, its erstwhile ally. Salvini said that unless the centre-right parties "team up now the League will run on its own" in the next general election.
