Scrapping a 2011 pension
reform named after then labour minister Elsa Fornero would be a
"very grave error", Economy Minister Pier Carlo Padoan said
Monday. He said the law could be "corrected" but not abolished
as the centre-right coalition led by ex-premier Silvio
Berlusconi wants to do. "The Fornero reform is one of the
pillars of the Italian pensions system and the sustainability of
the country's financial system," Padoan said. In the economy
minister's view, "corrections are naturally always possible". He
went on, "like, for example, in the case of the latest budget
law"," which, he said, "enabled us to mitigate the impact of the
adjustment to the pension age".
