Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti
and Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani on
Wednesday both backed European Affairs Minister Raffaele Fitto
to become Italy's member of the new EU Commission.
"He's our candidate," Giorgetti told reporters when asked Fitto
becoming a Commissioner.
"He's the horse that's running. We're rooting for him".
Tajani spoke about this hypothesis at the final press conference
of the G7 Trade meeting in Calabria.
"If it is him, and I am in favour of that, we will talk with the
premier to see what will happen, who will take his place, how
the government will decide to distribute the portfolios," Tajani
said.
"But it is a decision that is up to the premier alone," he
added.
