"There will be no new taxes" and the hypothesis of withdrawals on pensions "are just August talk". Prime Minister Matteo Renzi said so in an interview with TG%, explaining that his government is moving in other directions to make ends meet in compliance with European parameters.
“As we did with the 80 euros, we will try to do it with other segments” of the population by extending the tax reduction if coverage is found. But to make ends meet, the spending review will have to be the compass and cuts in unproductive public spending will be essential. “Spending must be further reduced, given that 800 billion are spent and they are too many”.
Naturally, the announcement of new spending cuts alarms the trade unions and the general secretary of the CGIL, Susanna Camusso, has not missed the opportunity to threaten a calque autumn. She threatens that, however, she will not disturb the prime minister who replies: "If the unions want a warm autumn, let them… ..already the summer hasn't been much".
Finally, on Iraq and terrorism, the prime minister maintained that "Europe must intervene and not sleep as it did in the past".
