(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 28 - The government is ready to make
potentially unpopular choices that could cost it in electoral
terms, Premier Giorgia Meloni said Monday.
"If industry is doing well, then so is the nation the nation is
doing well too: then it is up to politics to make synthesis and
then it's up to politics to make a synthesis and take
responsibility. I intend to take them on even if it costs us in
electoral terms.
We are ready to do what is right for the nation and not for us.
This is demonstrated the choice made on the Citizenship Wage
(anti-poverty and job seekers' basic Income benefit which is
being radically reformed ahead of being abolished).
"Reiterating with this choice that the government intends to
rebuild a culture and work ethic, and to do so together with
those who do enterprise and those who produce, is an important
signal".
Meloni was speaking on a video link to the general assembly of
Confindustria Veneto East. (ANSA).
