Democratic Centre (CD) leader
Bruno Tabacci on Thursday joined the +Europa group of former
foreign minister Emma Bonino, ending a signatures headache that
had threatened to stop the pro-EU group taking part in the March
4 general election.
Bonino, also a former European commissioner, said "thanks for
your choice, you have made a democratic option possible for us
and for the country at large".
She said +Europa "will be the only fully pro-Europe list at
the elections".
Tabacci solved the problem for the Italian Radicals because
CD is already registered in parliament.
A meeting on January 13 will bless the birth of the new group
formed by Bonino and Tabacci, sources said.
The symbol will read Democratic Centre along with +Europa
with Emma Bonino, they said.
"We will certainly stay on the centre-left, we'll decide in
what way," Tabacci said amid expectations it will ally with the
Democratic Party (PD).
