(Reuters) - Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti on Friday unveiled the alliance he will lead into February’s parliamentary election and said he was unlikely to agree to serve as a minister in another premier’s cabinet after the vote.
The 69-year-old former European commissioner, who replaced Silvio Berlusconi as prime minister in November 2011 when Italy was scrambling to avert a financial crisis, announced last week that he would run for a second term.
Monti said on Friday the grouping would be called “With Monti for Italy”, whose logo is a circular symbol with the colours of the Italian flag and his surname in the centre.
“I hope that (the new alliance) helps improve politics, and that it renews the interest of those Italians who had turned their back on politics, involving them actively again in public affairs,” Monti said.
