Italy's Berlusconi calls for elections, vows to oust Renzi - paper


MILAN (Reuters) - Former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi pledged to relaunch his Forza Italia party this year and force out the centre-left government of Matteo Renzi, according to an interview with daily Il Giornale on Saturday.

Berlusconi, 79, has kept a low profile since he was convicted of tax evasion and banned from public office in 2013, but promised to return to the front lines of Italian politics and strengthen his party, which he said was weakened by his absence.
