Premier Giuseppe Conte said
Wednesday that central government must no longer seek to solve
problems by cutting funding to local authorities.
"We must put behind us the season of across-the-board cuts,
which took precious resources away from local areas," Conte told
Italian local authorities association ANCI in Arezzo.
"The State cannot cash in to the detriment of local
councils".
He also said that he wants a fund for the troubled areas on
the outskirts of Italian towns and cities to be made permanent.
