Italy foreign minister Tajani succeeds Berlusconi as Forza Italia chief

Rome, July 15 (BNA): Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani was elected, on Saturday, the leader of the conservative Forza Italia party, which was founded by media billionaire Silvio Berlusconi last month 29 years ago.

Tajani, 69, who was unanimously chosen by Forza Italia’s national assembly, faces a difficult task in reviving the fortunes of a party whose public support had been waning for years even before Berlusconi’s death. Reuters reported.
