MILAN (Reuters) - The right-wing Brothers of Italy party, leading in polls ahead of next month's election, will not jeopardize Italy's access to a European Union-funded investment programme, the party's founder was quoted as saying on Friday.

Prime Minister Mario Draghi's resignation last month has paved the way to early elections on Sept. 25, with surveys suggesting the conservative alliance led by far-right Brothers of Italy is well placed to win a parliamentary majority.
