Premier Matteo Renzi told his
Democratic Party (PD) executive Monday that unlike former
premier Silvio Berlusconi he was not trying to "impede" judicial
probes such as one into a southern Italian oil project that has
rocked the government. "The profound difference with others is
that they spoke of legitimate impediment, I say question me, the
others spoke of the statute of limitations where I ask for
sentences and I say do the trials, but quickly. We are not the
same as others: let that be printed on the heads of anyone who
has doubts. We are not those who asked fo legitimate
impediments, but we ask for sentences to be issued seriously,
quickly". Industry minister Federica Guidi quit last week over a
government amendment that benefitted the Tempa Rossa oil project
in Basilicata.
