League leader Matteo Salvini
said Monday that he has never spoken to Forza Italia (FI) chief
Silvio Berlusconi about the idea of General Leonardo Gallitelli
being the centre right's premier candidate.
"I never heard this at a meeting," Salvini told Radio 24.
Salvini also denied having reached a deal with FI and the
rightwing Brothers of Italy (FdI) party on the makeup of the
government if the centre right wins the general election early
next year.
"When we met in Catania I said to him, 'Excuse me, Silvio,
but don't keep saying this thing about the ministers because we
have never spoken about it and it is the last thing the Italian
people are interested in hearing about'," he said.
