Economic Affairs Commissioner
Pierre Moscovici on Tuesday blasted a proposal by the 5-Star
Movement's Italian premier candidate Luigi Di Maio to break the
EU's 3% limit on the deficit-to-GDP ratio.
"It's an absolute contradiction," Moscovici said when asked
about the proposal by the anti-establishment candidate ahead of
the March 4 general election.
"The 3% ceiling has a very precise sense to stop debt rising
further.
"Reducing the deficit means combatting debt and combatting
debt means boosting growth".
