Premier Giuseppe Conte said
Wednesday that he did make any compromises on the key measures
in the government's budget plan as he reported to the Senate
after reaching a deal to prevent the European Commission opening
an infringement procedure against Italy.
"Over the last few weeks we worked to bring the positions
closer without ever moving backwards with respect to the
objectives the Italian people set us in the March 4 election,"
Conte said.
"We did not give way over the contents of the budget".
