Salvini laughs off EU budget move

(ANSA) - Rome, November 21 - Deputy Premier and Interior Minister Matteo Salvini on Wednesday laughed off the news that the European Commission is set to send the government a letter informing it of the opening of an infringement procedure over its budget plan for 2019. "Has the letter from Brussels arrived? I'm waiting for one from Father Christmas too," League party leader Salvini said. "We will politely talk as we have always done. We will have dialogue. I'm going to keep going. If someone thinks they can convince me that the Fornero (pension reform) is right, they can try. I'm not convinced".
