Italy's ex-PM Renzi quits ruling Democratic Party
By EUobserver
Former Italian prime minister Matteo Renzi announced he will leave the Democratic Party (PD) with some 30 other members of parliament. He said that what pushed him out of the party is "a lack of vision of the future". It was Renzi who proposed to form a government between PD and the Five Star Movement, in order to avoid elections after the League left the government in August.
