Fico stands by vitalizi cut

(ANSA) - Naples, September 28 - Lower House Speaker Roberto Fico of the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S) said on Friday that he is "not afraid" of lawsuits against his deliberation cutting 'vitalizi' parliamentary pensions. "We fixed a social wound; I'd do it again a thousand times," Fico said. "I have absolutely no fear of these lawsuits; the deliberation is firm and the former MPs know it," he said.
