“We have irresponsible people in the government, people who shouldn't be part of it. Berlusconi is to blame, because he brought these people into the government.”
“Berlusconi is a man fighting against the whole country. I don't know how he can govern Italy in this way, and in fact I think he won't be governing it any more.”
“Every day Berlusconi is picking a fight with someone. Alas, he is starting to lose his lucidity. I don't know how he can think to govern Italy in this fashion.”
“I want to invite the premier to lower his tone and stop what appears to be a real strategy of tension, an undermining of the electoral victory that increases the bitterness.”
“We had a radical clash over policy programs, a pact now would be incomprehensible for the citizens. There can be no coup de theatre, no rabbit pulled out of a hat.”
