Political tensions in Italy over possible PM switch Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta Wednesday met with the new leader of his party, Matteo Renzi, who observers say may have ambitions to take over as head of government. Letta was due to give a press conference later on Wednesday to address the rumours of a possible "relay" in the centre-left Democratic Party, which elected the now 39-year-old Renzi to be its leader in December.
