Italian ex-premier Renzi seeks to create new center-right

MILAN (AP) — Former Italian Premier Matteo Renzi is appealing to disillusioned members of ex-Premier Silvio Berlusconi’s party to join forces.
Renzi made his appeal Sunday, a day after Berlusconi and his much-weakened Forza Italia party appeared marginalized at a right-wing rally led by Matteo Salvini of the populist League.
While Berlusconi’s party is losing popularity, a post-fascist party, the Brothers of Italy, is pulling the conservative movement further to the right.
