Northern League leader Matteo
Salvini on Friday rejected the idea of "heirs or dynasties"
taking over from Silvio Berlusconi at the head of the centre
right.
"I don't think there's a blood right," he said in response
to Berlusconi's announcement that he would pick an heir.
"Citizens must pick the candidates to challenge (Premier
and centre-left leader Matteo) Renzi", he said, stressing the
need for primaries.
Berlusconi Thursday night said No to primaries, saying he
would hand pick an heir to head up a new party.
This was taken as referring to a politician and not a
member of his family, who have consistently ruled out filling
his shoes.
