Italia Viva leader Matteo Renzi
said in a TV head-to-head with League leader Matteo Salvini
Tuesday that "you've been doing politics for 27 years, you
haven't brought home anything, Salvini. Only (advertising)
spots. Yours is a spot politics".
The former premier and former Democratic Party (PD) leader
was debating anti-migrant Euroskeptic leader Salvini on the
Porta a Porta TV show.
Salvini accused Renzi of finding the current government like
a "mushroom".
He also said the former PD leader was "a genius" who had not
been "understood by the Italians".
Renzi accused Salvini of whipping up a "climate of fear"
against new taxes, which would not be levied.
