Enrico Letta leaves Parliament and leave Italy. From September he will be rector of the school of international affairs at the prestigious Sciences Politique University in Paris. This was revealed by the former prime minister during a television interview with Fabio Fazio's "Che tempo che fa".
"I am not leaving politics, but Parliament, this Parliament" said Letta, explaining that, being only 48 years old, he will not receive a parliamentary pension and therefore lives on his work. At the University of Paris.
Letta revealed that the fall of his government was "unexpected" for him because the Executive had an institutional profile but affirmed that today his relations with Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, who roughly ousted him from Palazzo Chigi, are " serene" and who considers "a split from the Democratic Party a mistake".
Despite the elegance that is typical of him, bitterness remains deep in Letta for his political story and his resignation as deputy is the logical consequence. In Paris he will start a new life.
