Anti-establishment 5-Star
Movement (M5S) leader Luigi Di Maio said Tuesday he wanted a
public debate with European Economic Affairs Commissioner Pierre
Moscovici and said he was "sorry" at the Commissioner's alleged
interference in the Italian general-election campaign.
"I ask for a public debate with Moscovici, in that we think
that the recipe of staying within the (Maastricht) parameters
has not worked, but I don't think public debt should rise," Di
Maio told CorriereLive.
"We want to make deficit investments as a high multiplier to
repay the debt and, among other things, Moscovici comes from a
nation that has breached 3% for years," Di Maio said.
He said Moscovici's alleged interference "makes me a bit
sorry" and added "it happened in the referendum and didn't do
any good".
