The three-time premier and media magnate added he hoped a Renzi-led government would try to steer the European Union away from austerity towards growth policies./PPMeanwhile the PD denied reports it was negotiating with FI about the make-up of a Renzi administration./PPIt said, however, it would continue to work with FI on electoral and other reforms to favour stability and cut costs by stripping the Senate of its lawmaking status, scrapping provincial governments and handing some regional powers back to Rome, on the basis of a recent deal between Renzi and Berlusconi./PPBerlusconi also said FI would respect the deal, which requires changes to the Italian Constitution./P
