Centre-right Forza Italia (FI)
leader Silvio Berlusconi must say who his premier candidate is
for the March 4 general election, Brothers of Italy (FdI) leader
Giorgia Meloni told a Facebook-ANSA live forum Monday.
Berlusconi is barred from standing himself by a six-year
tax-dodge-related office ban that runs till next year. He has
mooted several names without settling on a definitive candidate
for premier. "I would consider it a act of clarity from FI to
say before the vote who the premier candidate is, I'll reiterate
that to Berlusconi in the coming days, as soon as I hear from
him, I think it would be right to know the names, not the names;
I'm i favour of the utmost clarity," she said. She repeated that
the party that gets the most votes - FI, the League, or FdI -
would get to pick the final centre-right premier candidate.
European Parliament President Antonio Tajani is among the
figures Berlusconi has touted.
