More on comments from Italy’s Deputy Prime Minister Luigi Di Maio as he toned down the stance on budget. He said in a radio interview that “what is important is that the budget contains the goals that we have established.” He referred to the measures including citizen’s income, and increase in retirement age.
And, he added “then if the negotiation means that the deficit (target) must come down a bit, for us it’s not important.” Di Maio emphasized that “citizens are more important than numbers.”
