Premier Giuseppe Conte said
Wednesday that "Italy is a net contributor to the EU budget, we
think we deserve more attention" as he reported to the Lower
House ahead of this week's EU summit.
Referring to data that said over five million people were
living in absolute poverty in Italy last year, Conte said he
would suggest that the negotiations on the new EU budget should
"reserve greater financial attention to European funds for
social inclusion and the European social fund that could finance
the reform of employment (centres)".
