So-called 'minibots' or
alternative measures to repay State debts to the private sector
are not needed, Economy Minister Giovanni Tria told a press
conference in London Tuesday.
"I have nothing to object to (League party leader and
Interior Minister Matteo) Salvini but I only say we don't need
minibots," he said.
Salvini, the nationalist League party leader, earlier said
that minibots would be introduced unless Tria found alternatives
to them.
Tria was speaking after earlier describing minibots as
"illegal and dangerous".
Tria said "the debt of the public administration towards
suppliers has dropped."
He said "it is little more than physiological".
"That's why we are able to pay it in euros.
"I don't need minibots, or to find other alternative
measures".
League economy pointman Claudio Borghi said Tuesday.
Tria doesn't understand the so-called proposed 'minibots', a
sort of crypto currency to be used to repay State debts to
private companies, or else he would not say they are illegal,
The nationalist League party, led by Interior Minister
Salvini, has proposed the minibots, which have been widely
criticised.
Borghi said "it takes great patience, I don't why (Tria)
thinks in this way, when we can have a meeting we'll explain to
him that it's not so.
"The economy minister must do what the government programme,
which he has seen and signed, says."
In Borghi's view, Tria "has not understood them yet.
"They aren't illegal, because no one is obliged to accept
them.
"We'll change his mind".
