Deputy Premier and Interior
Minister Matteo Salvini said on his League party's proposed
'minibots' to repay government debts to firms that "I'm not
interested in the form, but the result".
"I'm interested in the result, the instrument does not
count," said the anti-migrant Euroskeptic League leader.
"I care about the substance, not the form," he said.
"We are ready to take on board suggestions. I'm interested in
the goal".
Both Premier Giuseppe Conte and Economy Minister Giovanni
Tria have ruled out using the new proposed minibots, which
European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi has said would be
illegal.
But Salvini said "we have proposed an idea that is in the
government contract and has been unanimously approved by the
parliamentary budget committee.
"If there are other ideas I am happy. I say that to the nay
sayers who are outside and inside".
The Italian business community has also come out against the
minibots while some observers have claimed they might presage an
Italexit.
