MILAN - Former Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi will lead a breakaway from the ruling Democratic Party this week and set up a new centrist force, he was quoted as saying on Tuesday, stressing the move could broaden the appeal of the coalition government.
However, Renzi, now a member of Senate for PD, has had an abrasive relationship with his party, especially with left-wingers, and there have been persistent rumors he was planning to set up a new movement. “I want to spend the coming months fighting against Salvini,” he said. “The bad populism he represents has not been defeated”.
“That will be good for everyone,” Renzi said of the breakaway, adding it would allow the government “to probably expand its parliamentary support”.“We are sorry,” he said on Twitter on Tuesday.
