After repeated rumors, Italy still haven’t submitted the revised Draft Budget Plan to European Commission up till now. It’s reported again today that the coalition government will have the budget ready by next Wednesday.
Another rumor comes up on Economy Minister Giovanni Tria’s resignation, on budget row with the cabinet. It’s reported that Five Star movement has requested Tria to step down, for ceding too much ground to EU. However, it seems that the League wants Tria to stay.
Five-Star leader, Italian Deputy Prime Minister Luigi Di Maio denied the rumor today and said “Tria is doing a great job and a winning team must not be changed”.
