In Milan , Matteo Renzi confirms that he will run in the same district as Silvio Berlusconi . "It is very fun and useful for citizens: in the district of Milan center Berlusconi will lead the Forza Italia list, I will lead the Italia Viva e Action list so that everyone can reflect on what is the right way for the future, on taxes , on international positioning, on renewable and non-renewable energy. When there is confrontation, the important thing is that you respect each other, and I intend to do this with Berlusconi and with all the others. Among other things, I have not seen Berlusconi for seven years , I am also pleased to see him again ", the words of the leader of IV at Rtl 102.5.
"We haven't seen each other since we broke the Nazarene , we both live well, but it's a fact. The important thing is that the Italians can choose who best represents for them the legacy of the Draghi government, for example. Berlusconi is part of a coalition that voted against Draghi, even the PD and the left, we are the only ones who have always supported Draghi ", he adds.
As for presidentialism , “ I would prefer the direct election of the prime minister - Renzi specifies - because in my opinion it is right for citizens to choose . I dream of a simple mechanism like that of the mayor of Italy. Everyone who listens knows that when you vote for the mayor it's easy, then maybe you lose. This mechanism is democracy, it works. I am for the mayor of Italy . The head of state depends on what function you give him. If you do as in America it is right that the citizens elect him, if the head of state has the function of institutional arbiter, of the one who appoints someone to the Constitutional Court, who presides over the CSM, if he does this function there it is more right that it is a sort of arbiter, not head of government ".
