Interior Minister Matteo Salvini
on Tuesday said "nothing and no one" would stop the government
overhauling the 2011 Fornero pension reform after both the bank
of Italy and the IMF said it should not be touched.
Salvini, the rightwing populist League leader who made
scrapping the Fornero a key campaign pledge, said "on the
Fornero reform nothing and no one will be able to stop us."
The deputy premier said "we will go forward in a tranquil
way, the economy will grow also thanks to the modification of
the Fornero law, a work of social justice that will create many
new jobs".
The reform, which raied the retirement age to 67 for both
sexes and left thousand s without a pension overnight, was
implemented by 2011-2012 labour minister Elsa Fornero to help
pull Italy back fom the brink of a sovereign-debt crisis in
2011.
