Ex-premier Silvio Berlusconi said
Monday that an attempt by the centrist Third Pole to steal the
voters of his Forza Italia (FI) party had failed after FI gained
a better-than-expected 8% of the vote as part of the right
coalition that won Sunday's general election.
"The strong growth of Brothers of Italy (FdI) did not hurt us
and the attempt by the so-called centrists to capture our votes
completely failed," Berlusconi said in a video message.
"Their limited success came at the cost of the PD".
