Giorgia Meloni, the leader of the
opposition, right-wing Brothers of Italy (FdI) party, on Monday
named former prosecutor Carlo Nordio as a possible candidate to
be Italy's next president.
"Many personalities that come from the area of the centre right
would have the curriculum vitae and standing to hold the role of
president," Meloni told a meeting of her party's 'grand
electors' taking part in the presidential election.
"Names like those of Marcello Pera, Letizia Moratti, Elisabetta
Alberti Casellati, Giulio Tremonti, Franco Frattini are all
authoritative.
"I have asked for the roster to be extended to personalities who
don't have a past in politics and that's why we have added the
name of Carlo Nordio.
"It seems hard to see any objections to him".
