“I want unity in the moderate wing and to get it, if necessary, I am ready not to stand as a candidate,” Berlusconi said, according to Libero newspaper.
On Monday the secretary of Berlusconi’s People of Freedom (PDL) party Angelino Alfano said Berlusconi may drop plans to stand in next year’s election if necessary.
“I intend to do what is useful and right for my country and if, to obtain a united front against the left, I need to step aside, I will do it,” Berlusconi added.
