Tajani elected Forza Italia secretary

(ANSA) - ROME, JUL 15 - Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani was elected Forza Italia (FI) secretary by the centre-right party's national council in Rome on Saturday.
    It is the first time FI's national council has met since ex-premier and party founder Silvio Berlusconi died last month.
    Former European Parliament president Tajani will hold the position on a 'pro tempore' basis until the party's next congress.
    He was voted in unanimously by a show of hands.
    FI Senate whip Licia Ronzulli said the party had decided to change its statute so the role of party president, which was Berlusconi's, no longer exists.
    "There's only one president for us," Ronzulli said. (ANSA).
