Italian structural reforms
"are being slowed down because of the country's internal
political situation", a debt report to be published by the
European Commission will say Wednesday, EU sources told ANSA
Tuesday. The ruling centre-left Democratic Party (PD) is being
racked by a painful split but the splitters have vowed to
continue to back PD member Premier Paolo Gentiloni's
centre-left-centre-right government. Economy Minister Pier Carlo
Padoan and Gentiloni are putting together a budget adjustment to
avert an EU infringement procedure.
