Interior Minister and Deputy Premier Matteo Salvini continued to attack European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker on Wednesday following his criticism of Italy's budget plans. "This gentleman is the head of government of 500 million Europeans, a gentleman who comes from a tax haven like Luxembourg," Salvini told Mediaset television. "If you search 'Juncker sober' or 'wobbly' on Google, you'll see images that, at times, are striking". On Tuesday Salvini said "I talk to sober people who don't make comparisons that aren't here nor there" when asked about Juncker's suggestion Italy might pose a Greece-like threat to the euro. Salvini also said Juncker should drink two glasses of water before talking about Italy's debt risks.
