Conditions are there for new group (2)

(ANSA) - Rome, July 28 - Interior Minister Angelino Alfano, who leads the small New Center Right (NCD) party, said Thursday the conditions are there to bring center-right moderates and liberals together into a new political force. "We must agree on a platform, a party name - because none of the participating subjects can impose their own name - and leadership which, as I said while I was still a member of (Silvio Berlusconi's now-defunct People of Freedom) PdL party, should be chosen through primaries," he said.
    Alfano added the only thing he has in common with Matteo Salvini, the leader of the rightwing anti-immigrant Northern League party, is "the fact of not wanting to be together".
    "(The League) is the extreme right...and has nothing to do with moderates and liberals," the minister said.
