Di Maio wd vote quit in euro referendum (3)

(ANSA) - Rome, December 18 - 5-Star Movement (M5S) premier candidate Luigi Di Maio said Monday that, if there were a referendum on the euro, he would vote to quit the single currency, while stressing that he did not think that would be necessary. "If a referendum happened, which, however, I consider to be a last resort, it is clear that I would vote to quit, because it would mean that Europe has not listened to us," Di Maio told La7 television. "But today I see opportunity from Europe".
    Ex-premier and ruling centre-left Democratic Party (PD) leader Matteo Renzi responded quickly to Di Maio's statement.
    "It would be folly for Italy to leave the euro," he said on Twitter.
