Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi is declaring victory at home and embracing a more assertive role further afield.
In an interview at his residence in Rome this week, Renzi took a swipe at the attempts of other European Union leaders to get a grip on the bloc’s multiple crises, saying they have no clear strategy.
