Italy’s Deputy PM Salvini: EU fiscal rules are impoverishing the continent, the rules must be changed

Italian Deputy Prime Minister (PM) Salvini crossed the wires in the last minutes arguing that the EU's fiscal rules were impoverishing the European continent and added that rules must be changed. Salvini also reiterated that they wanted to cut Italy's debt via economic growth. "We will not raise VAT by even one cent," he further noted.

Earlier in the day, Salvini told Corriere della Sera, an Italian daily newspaper, the EU's fiscal rules were old and outdated.
