Deputy Premier and Labour and
Industry Minister Luigi Di Maio said Thursday that the OECD
should not interfere in Italy's affairs after the body warned
Rome against reversing a 2011 pension reform.
"The OECD must not interfere in the decisions of a sovereign
country that a democratically legitimated government is
pursuing," 5-Star Movement (M5S) leader Di Maio said.
"The overhaul of the Fornero law is in the (government)
contract and it will be carried out.
"Almost two thirds of the Italian people are with us.
"The bureaucrats will have to come to terms with that.
"That was part of the reason why we were elected and we'll
keep the commitment that has been made".
